Oenology: Science and Study of Winemaking

Wine is an alcoholic beverage which is made using crushed and fermented grapes. The science and the study of wine and winemaking is referred to as oenology. It is involved in the cultivation of the vines, as well as the production, ageing, packaging and tasting of wine. It also focuses on the consumption and marketing of wines. It incorporates technical and chemical skillsets, in order to oversee the winemaking process, and the distillation, the blending and bottling of the wine. Oenology also studies the chemical properties of soil, the climate and the impact these have on the quality of the grapes and the fermentation process. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world with respect to oenology. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students, wine producers and researchers.
