This book provides a comprehensive, up to date coverage of the theory and practice of the major chemical analyses conducted throughout the winemaking process. It includes a wide range of chemical analyses of grapes, juice and wine. Helpful hints and troubleshooting sections give many practical clues to make it easy to investigate any problems in carrying out the methods.
Instructions for each analysis follow a step-by-step procedure. Colour photographs illustrate analytical techniques, titration endpoints, apparatus and instrumentation. There are 115 matt plastic-coated colour-coded A4 pages. This book is ideally suited for day-to-day use in the wine laboratory, as a training resource and as a student text in wine courses.
The authors include academics, winemakers, laboratory supervisors and consultants with many years of experience in teaching, research and industry practice.
