Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted to let you know about a new Special Issue on “Food and Wine Pairing” in Beverages (an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal on research, development, and public policy related to beverages).
Food and drink pairing has been growing in popularity and interest among academics, practitioners, and consumers. Food and wine pairing presents a strategy to differentiate firms and consumer experiences to meet market segment demands for unique, memorable experiences and enhance quality of life. Therefore, the adoption of food and wine practices provides firms with an opportunity for competitive advantage and increased sales.
In this Special Issue, we will recognize papers that expand the boundaries of our existing knowledge in this field. While research and anecdotal evidence demonstrate the impact of a variety of factors on these pairing perceptions based on liking, environmental impacts, personal preferences, and food-wine elements, a large number of questions remain, and a better understanding of these relationships will benefit consumers, practitioners, and scholars. Topic areas may include (but are not limited to) the following: how we perceive pairings; pairing practices; pairing by wine style; pairing by food type; the impact of other factors in the pairing process, specialty pairing menus; the impact of elements such as umami, kokumi, or oleogustus; food-wine and bridging networks; the impact of pairings on quality of life; and new methods in assessing pairing perceptions.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
