This comprehensive guide explores the techniques of wine production in the
vineyard and winery, and considers their impact upon the taste, style and quality of wine in the bottle.

Part 1 of the book provides a structured yet easily readable understanding of wine production, from
vine to bottle. The impact of natural factors, including climate and soil, is considered, together with
the decisions made and work undertaken in the vineyard and winery.

Part 2 looks at quality in wines: the concepts and techniques of tasting are detailed, along
with the challenges in recognising and assessing quality. Also discussed are the steps producers may
take, and the limitations they may face, in creating quality wines.
