E R Adlard, Chromatographia
This is a book worth every penny and I cannot recommend it too highly.

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.

From the Inside Flap
Understanding Wine Technology was originally written for students of the WSET Diploma exam and the examination for the Institute of Masters of Wine.
However, this is the only book to explain the complexities of the science and technology of wine in simple terms, and therefore fills a gap in the large market of wine information by making wine's technical mysteries accessible to those with no scientific education. This new edition brings the literature up-to-date, relaying in its plainspoken tradition the recent advances in wine science and technology.
The topics covered range from the secrets of the vineyard, the processing of grapes to produce juice, the intricacies of fermenttion, stabilisation of the resulting wine, treatments, quality control and quality assurance, and bottling.

Distinction
If you are studying for your WSET Diploma this is the book that will get you a distinction. Well written and engaging it demystifies a somewhat dry subject (forgive the pun).

Understanding Wine Technology
This is a brilliant book for everyone wanting to discover the procsess
of wine making.
