Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>This paper explores value making practices by asking how we know and make new relations of economy. The paper seeks to understand the connectivities that constitute the Hawkes Bay wine economy in a way not confined by sector or regional matrices. We explore the making of relations of (wine) economy, studying relationships among actors in Hawke's Bay wine economy, including cross‐sectional exchanges, investment patterns and value chain linkages. This enables a more practice‐centred and relational understanding of wine economies as constituted by assemblying practices. Thinking about wine economies as assemblages facilitates an enactive engagement in economic practices by geographers.</p> </abstract>
