The Art and Science of Wine Summary

The Art and Science of Wine by Hugh Johnson

Written by two of the world's most eloquent authorities on wine, this seminal book is required reading for anyone wanting to find out more about why wine tastes the way it does. Brought fully up-to-date in this new edition, The Art & Science of Wine covers every step in the wine-making process, from young vine to bottled wine, giving readers the context within which to appreciate the decisions the winemaker makes along the way. How do winemakers achieve the flavour, style, and quality of their wines? The Art & Science of Wine answers these questions in a series of studies detailing the processes behind winemaking. The choice of grape, how it is cultivated, fermentation, maturation; each stage in wine production is explained clearly with helpful illustrations, charts, and photography throughout. Fully revised and updated to reflect the latest scientific developments, ideas, and techniques, the lively, informative text makes this a highly accessible read.

The Art and Science of Wine Reviews

Systematically covers all vineyard practices, is well and pertinently illustrated, and not the least bit stuffy or pretentious. A very useful book. Malcolm Gluck, The Guardian

About Hugh Johnson

James Halliday is a respected wine critic and vigneron with a career in the wine trade that spans over 30 years. Perhaps most widely known outside his homeland for his witty and informative writing about wine, he was one of the founders of Brokenwood Winery in New South Wales, and established Coldstream Hills in Victoria, with his wife, Suzanne. Author of over 45 books, Halliday has written thousands of articles for a number of different newspapers and magazines. He is constantly in demand as a wine judge across the world. Hugh Johnson is acclaimed as the world's favourite wine writer. His rare talent for making the most complex subjects readable, with wit and humour, has led to a remarkable sequence of books. His first book and internationally best-selling Wine was published in 1966, and subsequent titles, including The World Atlas of Wine and Wine Companion (both now in their fifth editions), Story of Wine, and How to Enjoy Your Wine, have established him as one of the subject's foremost writers.
