In Shangri-La, a rapidly developing international ethno-travel destination, European histories and global capitalism are being reestablished and reformulated through viticulture, which has altered landscapes and livelihoods. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the introduction of vineyards by nineteenth-century French and Swiss Catholic missionaries to make sacramental wine, to twenty-first century commercialization, this ethnography documents the ways Tibetans are indigenizing modernity in the context of economic development on their own terms. It provides timely insight into China's rapid entry into the global wine market, highlighting the localized impacts of this emergent industry, which include transformation from subsistence agriculture to monocropping and intensified agrochemical use. It also addresses larger issues of international trade, suggesting that certain commodities--stimulants and intoxicants in particular--have long connected Europe and the Asia Pacific region, and that these connections are now being reconceived in fashioning new industries and identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brendan A.
