From Vines to Wines: The Complete Guide to Growing Grapes & Making Your Own Wine
Customer Review: The only book of its kind, it helps to have a chem degree!
This is an excellent book, I recommend it to anyone who wishes to prepare wine from scratch. The book is written for the reader with knowledge of basic science concepts, especially a chemistry degree.
Customer Review: Whether planting one vine or one thousand, read this book!
Jeff Cox does what so few writers can do; he makes viticulture so interesting that you won’t want to put this book down. That’s saying a lot!
The whole book is a masterful handbook for the home or small commercial grower. From selecting the vines and a growing site to planting, growing, pruning, and harvesting to making wine, Cox literally packs the pages with useful information, tables and how-to illustrations. Even his appendix on grape pests and their control is written as a trouble-shooting guide based on symptoms rather than cause. This is both refreshing and useful.
If you can only buy one book on the subject, this is the one to buy.
Characterization and classification of Italian Barbera wines by using an electronic nose and an amperometric electronic tongue [An article from: Analytica Chimica Acta]
This digital document is a journal article from Analytica Chimica Acta, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.
Description:
An electronic tongue based on amperometric detection in a flow injection system (FIA) and a commercial electronic nose have been used to characterize and classify four types of Barbera wines having different denominations of origin and produced in northern Italy in enclosed geographical areas. E-nose and e-tongue data were compared and elaborated together with those of chemical analysis and colour evaluation. All data were treated by multivariate data processing based on principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and classification and regression trees (CART) analysis. In the classification of Barbera wines the best results were obtained from LDA applied to electronic nose and electronic tongue data, this analysis giving 100% correct assignation and 98.1% correct prediction.
