5.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive scientific overview,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wine Science: Principles and Applications (Food Science and Technology) (Hardcover)
Jackson provides a well-written overview of viticulture and oenology, with academic rigour and a bias towards more recent research. This book was very useful in my studies through the Cape Wine Academy, and I expect it to continue being a useful reference. Make sure to pick up the second edition, it contains significantly more material than the first.
Especially valuable is the clear exposition of complex biological or biochemical processes, which allows excess detail to be ignored while still maintaining readability (rather more useful than trying to fill in the scientific gaps in consumer-oriented books). Meticulously referenced, and good value for the serious student of wine, even at the steep academic-textbook price.

This book covers many principals of viticulture and enology, and does very, very well.A great companion to either an enologist or viticulturist seeking new points of view, or a great record of principals all in one book Fantastic... |
