Product Description

Review

This is a book worth every penny and I cannot recommend it too highly. -- E R Adlard, Chromatographia

From the Author

The first edition, published in 2000, ran to three print runs and the time was right for a new edition, which brings the information right up-to-date and incorporates the latest developments in the constantly changing world of winemaking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Distinction 25 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback
If you are studying for your WSET Diploma this is the book that will get you a distinction. Well written and engaging it demystifies a somewhat dry subject (forgive the pun).

5.0 out of 5 stars Winemaking for non-Winemakers 24 Nov 2007
By Christopher Barrett - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
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

This is a very clear and straightforward description of the winemaking process and the choices winemakers have to make when buying equipment and choosing among alternative process. Anyone who wants to delve into how wine goes from grapes to wine will find this book a valuable read and will clearly understand all the various and many choices winemakers have to make.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to wine production for the beginner. 28 Feb 2008
By J. Boyle - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
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.
