From Oenology to Viticulture - 3rd expanded edition - Alain Carbonneau, Jean-Louis Escudier | Quae

Today, the wine industry first organizes itself based on the demand for wines, then by choosing practices adapted to the potential of the terroir. It faces the profound changes in markets and consumer expectations, as well as the challenges of climate change.

This book covers all stages from the vineyard environment to wine making, through to tasting and its effects on health, without forgetting to mention other vineyard products: climates, soils, terroirs, grape varieties, cultivation methods, pruning and treatment, sustainability, designations, vinification, wine composition, organoleptic qualities...

Richly illustrated, this book combines the scientific explanations of processes with the know-how derived from the authors' experience. It is aimed at both winegrowers and oenologists as well as informed consumers or students. This 3rd expanded edition particularly emphasizes the benefits of precision viticulture and the use of technical solutions to preserve the wine-growing environment. It also highlights the remarkable growth of viticulture in China, marked by the dynamism of its wine tourism and scientific research.
