Handbook of Enology, Volume 2 (3rd Edition in English): The Chemistry of Wine Stabilization and Treatments

Handbook of Enology, Volume 2: The Chemistry of Wine Stabilization and Treatments (3rd edition in English) by Pascal Ribereau-Gayon, Yves Glories, Alain Maujean, Denis Dubourdieu

The Handbook of Enology, Volume 2: The Chemistry of Wine Stabilization and Treatments offers a detailed scientific approach to understanding and mastering the chemistry of wine as well as the stabilization and treatment processes necessary to produce high-quality wines. This volume is an improved translation of the 7th French edition (2017) and is part of a two-volume set that explores the different phases of winemaking.

In the first part of this volume, the authors focus on the chemical composition of wine, analyzing organic acids, phenolic compounds, carbohydrates, and the aromas of grape varieties. This chemical analysis is essential to understand the characteristics of a wine and its potential organoleptic defects.

The second part of the book deals with the procedures for wine stabilization and treatment, such as clarification, filtration, and centrifugation processes, as well as aging wines in tanks or barrels. The authors describe in detail colloidal phenomena, stabilization treatments through physical processes, and aging phenomena. This guide provides professionals and advanced students with a clear understanding of chemical mechanisms and modern enological practices to optimize wine quality.

The authors, all renowned oenologists, explain the methodologies needed to diagnose and correct common problems encountered in wine production. They offer an in-depth analysis of organoleptic defects, as well as solutions to improve the stability and clarity of the wine.

This volume is essential for advanced oenology students, professors, researchers, and winegrowers who seek to deepen their knowledge of wine chemistry and master the stabilization and aging processes.
