Practical Aspects of Wine Filtration | Bernard Gauthier

BERNARD GAUTIER

The book you are holding was published in french in 1984. The success encountered incited the editor to enlarge diffusion by translating it in english. The merit of such a success goes back to the author. This book is the fruit of a two-fold experience. Through his professional work with a large wine-making enterprise where he has been cellar director for a number of years, the author has been confronted with all the problems associated with wine filtration. He decided to share his experiences, with his colleagues, for he is also a freelance teacher, elaborating courses for practitioners as well as students of oenology. This experience in both practice and teaching, makes Bernard GAUTIER a master of his subject -evident in the reading of this book, on one hand by the concern he has for precise technical information and on the other by the clarity with which he expresses facts.

This up to date english edition includes an important chapter on new filtration techniques, providing the interest and the success of such a work.

In assuring wine limpidity and brilliance, (important factors in wine quality which influence first appreciation of the product by consumers), this book will be of great assistance to all those responsible for the preparation of one for commerce, and there is no doubt it will have great success amongst practitioners. Teachers will find within his page the fruits of practical experienced, and illustrated examples of theoretical data.
