Fully illustrated in color with user-friendly charts, diagrams, graphs and photos. Index and glossary.

From the Author

The first edition, published in 2000, ran to three print runs and the time was right for a new edition, which brings the information right up-to-date and incorporates the latest developments in the constantly changing world of winemaking.
