Editorial Reviews: Product Description Understanding Wine Technology was originally written for students of the diploma examination of the Wines & Spirits Education Trust in the United Kingdom, and the Master of Wine examination as set by the Institute of Masters of Wine. However, this is the only book to explain the complexities of the science and technology of wine in simple terms, and therefore fills a gap in the large market of wine information by making wines technical mysteries accessible to those with no scientific education. This new edition brings the literature up-to-date, relaying in its plainspoken tradition the recent advances in wine science and technology. The topics covered range from the secrets of the vineyard, the processing of grapes to produce juice, the intricacies of fermentation, stabilization of the resulting wine, treatments, quality control and quality assurance, and bottling.

Customer Reviews: Read 6 more reviews... Great Wine tech book June 19, 2008 I purchased this book for a course I will take in winemaking and finished the book before the class started. Good layman's description of the art and technology of wine making for the beginner winemaker who wants to start learning more than just hobbyist level. Great introduction to wine production for the beginner. February 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book is a great introduction to wine science for the non-scientist. It is well written and thorough. While it's not a book for someone who's looking for information on how to troubleshoot problems in the winery or find answers to exactly what kind of equipment would be best for their unique situation, it does explain many different types of equipment, wine-making techniques, and the science behind the process. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in working in or starting up a winery. This Book Is FILLED With Errors! November 27, 2007 5 out of 8 found this review helpful This book is filled with misleading technical information. I am an enologist, and would NOT recommend it for anyone seriously interested in wine making. Wine textbooks may be more expensive, but they are comprehensive and present the correct, full, scientific information. Winemaking for non-Winemakers November 24, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Contrary to popular belief, this is not a winemaking textbook, rather it is a great look into the process of winemaking as it would pertain to a wine industry employee or wine expert. Anyone seriously trying to make wine should either view 'From Vines to Wines' by Jeff Cox (for home winemakers) or attend UC Davis (for large scale winemakers). As a Master of Wine student, I have found this to be a great addition to my wine library. Paired with the Oxford Wine Companion and Halliday's 'The Art and Science of Wine' this makes for a solid read. Pros: beautiful diagrams, great writing, wonderful knowledge Cons: some topics lack depth, paperback Great basic introductory book November 12, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Excellent book, covers a very good breadth of topics including many that my other books don't cover. Not extremely in-depth, but it covers the topic completely. I would highly recommend it.
