Wine Science: Principles, Practice, Perception

Rating:
Summary: Comprehensive scientific overview
Review: Jackson provides a well-written overview of viticulture and oenology, with academic rigour and a bias towards more recent research. This book has been very useful so far in my studies through the Cape Wine Academy, and I expect it to continue being a useful reference. Especially valuable is the clear exposition of complex biological or biochemical processes, which allows excess detail to be ignored while still maintaining readability (rather more useful than trying to fill in the scientific gaps in consumer-oriented books). Meticulously referenced.

Rating:
Summary: As good as a book around
Review: This book covers many principals of viticulture and enology, and does very, very well.

A great companion to either an enologist or viticulturist seeking new points of view, or a great record of principals all in one book

Fantastic...
