It is an ambitious task and one that      it does not live up to. It is, as far as we know, only published in French.<\/p>\n<p>One would hope that a student in wine would merit a concise and structured      introduction to wine but then we would suggest looking elsewhere. Let us      take some examples: In the oenology chapter we can read \u201cdestemming and      crushing are not absolutely indispensable operations\u201d and \u201cthe press is an      agricultural machine used in a fixed place to extract by pressure certain      juices, notably the grape juice, destined for wine making\u201d or \u201ca bottle is a      generally a recipient cylindrical at the base and narrowing towards the      top\u201d. Or worse: \u201cthese varying methods [of mechanical, chemical or no      removal of weed and grass] are sometimes called \u2018biodynamics\u2019, a process      that does not yet have an official definition\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The book starts off with a      section on viticulture and vinification. It then has a few \u201cpractical tips\u201d      chapters: where to buy, how to store and how to serve etc. the third section      is a brief overview of all French wine regions. No non-French wines are      mentioned. It is a curious mix of a text that tries to go into technical      details in some areas but misses important points. The original, now revised      text is from 1984.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps it would have been better to write something      entirely new instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oenologie et crus des vins By Kilien Stengel, editor Publisher: Editions J\u00e9r\u00f4me Vilette Supposedly, this book is intended for student sommeliers and restaurateurs, as well as those studying viticulture, oenology.
