Book Synopsis Wine and Climate Change by : Linda Johnson-Bell
Download or read book Wine and Climate Change written by Linda Johnson-Bell. This book was released on 2014. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People who make, sell, or enjoy wine have increasing awareness that climate change will affect how and where wine is produced. This is the first general-audience trade book to look at this growing issue in world-wide winemaking. It is neither a polemic on the climate-change debate nor a gloom-and-doom warning that good wine is threatened, but rather a detailed look at the ways in which the world of wine will be altered as our climate changes.

Book Synopsis Terroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing by : Mark A. Matthews
Download or read book Terroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing written by Mark A. Matthews. This book was released on 2016-03-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Matthews brings a scientist's skepticism and scrutiny to widely held ideas and beliefs about viticulture--often promulgated by people who have not tried to grow grapes for a living--and subjects them to critical examination: Is terroir primarily a marketing ploy that obscures our understanding of which environments really produce the best wine? Can grapevines that yield a high berry crop generate wines of high quality? What does it mean to have vines that are balanced or grapes that are fully mature? Do biodynamic practices violate biological principles? These and other questions will be addressed in a book that could alternatively be titled (in homage to a PUP bestseller) On Wine Bullshit"--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis The Geography of Wine by : Percy H. Dougherty
Download or read book The Geography of Wine written by Percy H. Dougherty. This book was released on 2012-01-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wine has been described as a window into places, cultures and times. Geographers have studied wine since the time of the early Greeks and Romans, when viticulturalists realized that the same grape grown in different geographic regions produced wine with differing olfactory and taste characteristics. This book, based on research presented to the Wine Specialty Group of the Association of American Geographers, shows just how far the relationship has come since the time of Bacchus and Dionysus. Geographers have technical input into the wine industry, with exciting new research tackling subjects such as the impact of climate change on grape production, to the use of remote sensing and Geographical Information Systems for improving the quality of crops. This book explores the interdisciplinary connections and science behind world viticulture. Chapters cover a wide range of topics from the way in which landforms and soil affect wine production, to the climatic aberration of the Niagara wine industry, to the social and structural challenges in reshaping the South African wine industry after the fall of apartheid. The fundamentals are detailed too, with a comparative analysis of Bordeaux and Burgundy, and chapters on the geography of wine and the meaning of the term ‘terroir’.
