The information in this book complements the material in Australian Winemaking. Australian Winemaking provides a broad overview of the basis for winemaking processes and outlines the techniques necessary for making sound wine, while Theory and concepts of chemical, physical and sensory analyses and tests of grapes and wine highlights the theory and concepts associated with the main analysis methods and tests conducted during winemaking.
This new book Theory and concepts of chemical, physical and sensory analyses and tests of grapes and wine complements the book, Techniques and methods for chemical, physical and sensory analyses and tests of grapes and wine.
The Theory and concepts book highlights the theory and concepts associated with the main analysis methods and tests conducted during winemaking.
The Theory and concepts book is 154 full colour A4 pages. It provides:
- established and new principles and concepts;
- typical concentrations;
- practical applications,
- sensory attributes; and
- the latest research findings and industry guidelines.
Primarily written for students of winemaking courses, but it is also a valuable resource for winemakers to refresh and up-date their knowledge of the principles and latest research applicable to modern day winemaking.
The authors include academics, researchers, winemakers and laboratory personnel with many years of experience in teaching, research and industry practice.
