Publisher Description
This revolutionary book is the only indepth reference to detail the processes, developments, and factors affecting the science of winemaking.
Jamie Goode, a highly regarded expert on the subject, skilfully opens up this complex subject and explains the background to the various processes involved and the range of issues surrounding their uses. He reports on the vital progress in winemaking research that has been made in the last decade and explains the practical application of science with reference to the range of winemaking techniques used around the world, as well as viticultural practices, organics and ecology, and lifestyle influences.
Written in a uniquely accessible style, the book is divided into three sections covering the vineyard, the winery and human interaction with wine. It also features over 80 illustrations and photographs to help make even the most complex topics clear, straightforward and easy to understand.
Customer Reviews
Yeah…lost me at Terrior
There’s a lot to like about this book that’s easy read, and covers a lot of the major points, but the author lost me making excuses for the meaningless use of Terroir. What’s disappointing is the author even admits to the same but the bends over in contortion backends to give the use some sense of legitimacy. The whole idea is out of control. You can get coffee, chocolate, and other products emblazoned with “Terrior”. All the use does is further alienate and intimidate the average customer and it’s these kinds of shenanigans that have to stop. Yes, Terroir is S_oil, C_limate, A_spect, M_ystique. IMHO! Oh BTW loved Flawless!
