The Journal of Wine Research is an international and multidisciplinary refereed journal publishing the results of recent research on all aspects of viticulture, oenology and the wine trade.

Manuscripts, and any correspondence relating to book reviews, should be submitted electronically, preferably in Word format, to Jane Carr at ljanecarr@btinternet.com.  Other editorial correspondence may be sent either by post to: Jane Carr, Editor, Journal of Wine Research, The Granary, Newland Green, Egerton, Ashford, Kent TN27 9EP, or by email to: ljanecarr@btinternet.com.

Papers for the main section of the journal should normally be less than 8,000 words in length and should include an abstract of less than 100 words. Shorter notes and comments should be restricted to a maximum of 2000 words. Unless historical material is being quoted, all units should be given in the metric system. All material should be written in the English language. All authors must provide the editors with copyright permissions for any direct quotation of more than 50 words from another publication, or for the use of any previously published illustrative material.

References and footnotes. All references should be cited in the text by giving the surname of the author(s) followed, in parentheses, by the date, and where direct quotations are used, by the page numbers, as in the following examples: Lachiver (1988); Smith (1986, p. 143). If there are two or more works cited for the same author in the same year, these should be specified by the use of lower case letters, a, b, c, etc. All references should be listed at the end of the paper in the following form:

CHILDS, W.R. (1978) Anglo-Castilian Trade in the Later Middle Ages, Manchester: Manchester University Press.

Titles of journals should not be abbreviated.

Footnotes should be kept to an absolute minimum, but where they are used they should be indicated by superscript numbers in the text. The footnotes themselves should then be grouped together at the end of the text.

Grape varieties. Grape varieties should appear in lower case.

Illustrations and tables. All maps, diagrams, charts and photographs should be referred to as figures, and should be numbered in consecutive order using Arabic numerals. Artwork and tables must be submitted electronically in suitable condition for publication: high resolution JPEG or TIFF images if being submitted electronically.
