Synopsis

In this treatise on wine and the fermentation process, the author presents a detailed analysis of how temperature and various methods of initiating and managing fermentation affect the resulting wine. The author's objective is to equip vintners, both experienced and novice, with a scientific understanding of how to harness different fermentation approaches to intentionally produce wines with a variety of qualities. After carefully examining the existing literature, the author embarked on a series of original experiments to demonstrate these principles. The book's core insight is that while winemakers have long understood the importance of fermentation, few have systematically studied the variables involved. Through a series of comparative laboratory experiments, the author establishes a clear connection between fermentation techniques and the distinct attributes of the resulting wines. This book provides a valuable resource for vintners, offering precise instructions on how to achieve consistent results in wine production, from managing alcoholic content to controlling sweetness and color.
