This winemaking bible is for everyone serious about this topic. Studens in Viticulture, Enology and Food Science will benefit from a well reshearched book that is well structured and complete. This is a refference work, study book and read book for interested parties.

I rather like this book, it's a technical tour-de-force of winemaking. And it works well also as a reference.

However, in 2009, I can't really recommend this old, expensive book when the new edition (3rd) of Ronald Jackson's excellent Wine Science is available. Wine Science, Third Edition: Principles and Applications (Food Science and Technology) This is what is used for courses in winemaking today, and is both rigorous and readable. It's also expensive, but with almost 800 pages and a recent (2008) update it doesn't hurt as badly.

Got this book directly from Amazon. Arrived on time and in excellent condition. Very usefull book if you want to learn what is going on in your wine. Too many details if you are looking for just a practical aproach.
