Short Treatise of Oenological Mythology | Herve Alexandre, Jordi Ballester

This book is aimed at all wine lovers, experts, curious oenophiles, and enthusiasts. Perhaps you have asked yourself questions about the existence of wines made by women? Does the shape of the glass affect sensory perceptions? Are wine guides effective advisors? Is an award-winning wine good? Does color influence our judgment? There are also questions that you may not have asked yourself, but to which you will find answers in this book. The authors have questioned a large number of claims, preconceived ideas, biases, and myths, and thanks to the help of students from the National Diploma in Oenology at the University of Burgundy's Institute of Vine and Wine, they provide answers that will enlighten and surprise you. A book to savor with your eyes, without moderation. Authors: Hervé Alexandre, Professor of Oenology, Director of the National Diploma in Oenology, Director of the University of Burgundy Vineyard, Director of the VALMIS research laboratory Jordi Ballester, Associate Professor, Teacher in Sensory Analysis, Researcher at the Center for Taste and Food Sciences.
