Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Sunlight into Wine sets out the principles of canopy management to improve winegrape yield and quality. It brings together for the first time the findings of viticultural research and advances in commercial grapegrowing practice over the last decade or so. Emphasizing practical applications, there are sections to explain canopy microclimate, methods of vineyard quality assurance, and techniques to improve canopy microclimate which emphasize new trellis systems. The final section details how winegrape trellis systems can be economically constructed. The book is crammed with practical tips, and includes contributions from people around the world who are applying canopy management techniques, both in research and in commercial vineyards. There are plenty of illustrations and photographs to ensure that the concepts are easily understood...The techniques described here when adopted will lead to significant gains in vineyard yield and wine quality. This book is truly about 'winemaking in the vineyard'.

This is a good book BUT - - This book can be bought new at $40.00 on UCDavis.edu. Amazon marketplace is ripping off consumers. Check out University of California @ Davis' bookstore. Don't buy here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Canopy Management, July 3, 2006
By Roland Pouliot (Connellsville, PA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Despite being rather small and expensive, this book is an excellent reference for trellis and canopy management. This is one of the few texts that provides concrete examples and measurements for canopy management. Some of the management principles and charts are a bit time consuming to execute. For a small home vineyard it might be a bit overkill. The section on trellis systems has excellent diagrams, photographs and examples. The last section on trellis construction provides the necessary details to construct a system based on the principles discussed.
