This book is a great introduction to wine science for the non-scientist. It is well written and thorough. While it’s not a book for someone who’s looking for information on how to troubleshoot problems in the winery or find answers to exactly what kind of equipment would be best for their unique situation, it does explain many different types of equipment, wine-making techniques, and the science behind the process. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in working in or starting up a winery.

I purchased this book for a course I will take in winemaking and finished the book before the class started. Good layman’s description of the art and technology of wine making for the beginner winemaker who wants to start learning more than just hobbyist level.

I found this book to be an excellent introduction into the process of making wine. It was a very interesting book at an appropriate level for a novice.

This book is filled with misleading technical information. I am an enologist, and would NOT recommend it for anyone seriously interested in wine making. Wine textbooks may be more expensive, but they are comprehensive and present the correct, full, scientific information.
