Winemaking: From Grape Growing to Marketplace (Chapman & Hall Enology Library)
This reference for wine growers, wine makers, and wine marketers translates current literature and technology in viticulture an enology into usable information which readers can apply towards their individual needs and tasks. It provides an overview of the wine industry that includes wine culture, winery design, wine quality control, wine and human physiology, and wine marketing in a logical, wise progression. This book will appeal to all commercial grape growing, winemaking, and wine marketing personnel, as well as students, aspiring entrepreneurs, and amateur wine makers.
Customer Review: Why is it out of print?
As a wine ‘amateur’ (French meaning – no French person would ever say they were a ‘connossieur’ of wine, as one can never know it), this book was great in teaching more of the nuts and bolts of the wine biz. Grab this online somewhere – hopefully Amazon.com’s out-of-print service – but grab it – it is very interesting.
Customer Review: Excellent book on all aspects of winery business
This book touches on all parts of the winemaking business from vineyard costs to winery costs and designs to marketing your wines. It has a good section on analytical testing procedures and 50 pages of charts, tables and conversions that come in handy.
The section on vineyard costs details year by year expenses from start-up through year 7. I also found the feasibility and finance section very helpful in starting up my own winery. The section on government regulations was very helpful in warning any prospective winery owners of what the ATF and state regulators expect. There are plenty of examples of good record keeping that various governments expect you to keep on hand at all times.
Of course this book also has 117 pages of good winemaking details along with good sections on microbiology, winery equipment, barrels and label designs. If this book has any obvious fault it would be that it does not go deep enough into some of these subjects, but then it would be thousands of pages long instead of the 440 pages it is.
An all around great book on winemaking and the rest of the business that goes with a winery and it’s operation. This book has lots of good business information in it that I have not seen in any other winemaking book. I recommend it for anyone who not only wants to make great wine but also is serious about starting his own commercial winery.
