Denton Marks, Professor of Economics, University of Wisconsin-Whitewater.
Ashenfelter’s Liquid Assets introduced him to wine auctions in the late ‘80s, and he began studying the economics of wine after trying some live and absentee bidding in Chicago and elsewhere. His research involves wine auctions, wine as a cultural good, the meaning of expertise, and the behavioral economics of wine consumers; and has appeared in several academic journals. His Wine and Economics: Transacting the Elixir of Life (Edward Elgar, 2015), an introduction to the economics of wine for students and the public, is used internationally in various oenological programs.
