Wine Microbiology: Science and Technology

Front Cover
CRC Press, Mar 23, 2001 - Technology & Engineering - 496 pages
This volume applies an inductive experimental approach to recognize, control and resolve the variables that effect the wine-making process and the quality of the final product - focusing on the grape variety-yeast interaction controversy. It contains over 300 drawings, photographs and photomicrographs that illustrate the diagnostic morphology of wi
