Below is a list of wine and psychology related journal references. Where available I include a link to an electronic version and/or my research review. I have also included books that might be of interest. You can see reviews of some of these in book reviews.
Here is an article ‘On Vines and Minds’ I wrote for the British Psychological Society Magazine ‘The Psychologist’. It provides an introduction to the area.
