Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This sharp critique of French winemakers, and Bordeaux’s Saint Emilion region in particular, caused quite a stir when it was published in France in 2014” (Publishers Weekly). Already provoking debate and garnering significant attention across France and within the wine world, Vino Business is a “truly eye-opening exposé” of the dark side of French wine by acclaimed investigative journalist Isabelle Saporta (Booklist). In recent decades, Bordeaux has come under the influence of large-scale international investors. Unafraid to name names, Saporta sheds a harsh light on how this influence has corrupted the region’s centuries-old traditions of winemaking excellence. She uncovers how the classification system was manipulated in 2012 to ensure that the wines of Saint-Émilion—Bordeaux’s most prestigious appellation—were certified premier grand cru classé A. Giving extra points to a chateaux for the size of its parking lot, the quality of the wine itself counts for only thirty percent of that coveted rank. In other chapters, Saporta investigates issues of wine labeling and pesticides, and draws comparisons to Champagne, Burgundy, and the rest of the wine world. “This fast-paced, provocative read” is a cri de coeur for the lost values of traditional winemaking (Dave DeSimone, Pittsburgh Tribune Review).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a practical, comprehensive guide to winemaking, wines, and wine appreciation, written by an expert uniquely qualified by many years of experience in the field. Looking at winemaking as a craft as well as an art, Philip Jackisch augments a wealth of information and theory with many detailed examples. "It is now possible for anyone with access to grapes or other ingredients of decent quality to make consistently palatable or even excellent wines," he writes. In clear language aimed at the amateur winemaker, Jackisch explains the science behind wine and its application to winemaking. At the same time, he includes important material for commercial winemakers. Jackisch covers each step in the process of winemaking, from growing or purchasing grapes; choosing equipment; fermenting, aging, and storing the wine; to keeping records. By exploring in detail the various factors that affect wine quality, he shows which elements in wine production can be controlled to achieve certain sensory results. Among the other subjects he discusses arc specific types of wine, ways of evaluating wine, common problems in cellar operations and how to prevent or correct them, and wine competitions. Five appendixes supply additional technical information. Since 1985, Modem Winemaking has proven invaluable for winemakers, both commercial and amateur, for wine educators and students, and indeed, for anyone who wants to know more about wine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Postmodern Winemaking, Clark Smith shares the extensive knowledge he has accumulated in engaging, humorous, and erudite essays that convey a new vision of the winemaker's craft--one that credits the crucial roles played by both science and art in the winemaking process. Smith, a leading innovator in red wine production techniques, explains how traditional enological education has led many winemakers astray--enabling them to create competent, consistent wines while putting exceptional wines of structure and mystery beyond their grasp. Great wines, he claims, demand a personal and creative engagement with many elements of the process. His lively exploration of the facets of postmodern winemaking, together with profiles of some of its practitioners, is both entertaining and enlightening.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winemaking as a form of food preseIVation is as old as civilization. Wine has been an integral component of people's daily diet since its discovery and has also played an important role in the development of society, reli gion, and culture. We are currently drinking the best wines ever produced. We are able to do this because of our increased understanding of grape growing, biochemistry and microbiology of fermentation, our use of ad vanced technology in production, and our ability to measure the various major and minor components that comprise this fascinating beverage. Historically, winemakers succeeded with slow but gradual improvements brought about by combinations of folklore, obseIVation, and luck. How ever, they also had monumental failures resulting in the necessity to dis pose of wine or convert it into distilled spirits or vinegar. It was assumed that even the most marginally drinkable wines could be marketed. This is not the case for modem producers. The costs of grapes, the technology used in production, oak barrels, corks, bottling equipment, etc. , have in creased dramatically and continue to rise. Consumers are now accustomed to supplies of inexpensive and high-quality varietals and blends; they con tinue to demand better. Modem winemakers now rely on basic science and xvi Preface xvii the systematic application of their art to produce products pleasing to the increasingly knowledgeable consumer base that enjoys wine as part of its civilized society.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you like to learn how to make Wine at home and perhaps start your own winery one day, be your own boss, and make 6 figures a year doing something you love? What if I told you that it's easier than it sounds? This guide will teach you everything you need to know to make, bottle, and sell your own exclusive brand of wine and become a successful Winemaker. Wine is timeless, classy, and fun. You need not be a sommelier to know how to make and sell unique, glamourous, and delicious wine. Wine is also easy to sell because the market is vast, and wine is always in demand. If you are reading this, then it is safe to assume you are interested in wine making at home. Wine making is a fun activity that is not only affordable to start but could also be profitable if you just put in your best effort. This vastly updated second edition of "Art of Wine Making Business Startup, 2nd Edition, How to Start a Million Dollar Success from Home" contains even more vital information than my first edition. I have learned so much since publishing my first attempt that I know you will benefit even more from this second publishing. I started making wine almost 15 years ago, but it wasn't necessarily something that I expected I would be doing for the long term. I started making my wine out of sheer curiosity. Today, I am semi-retired, and my wine business is absolutely booming. The frustration I have had with wines over the years got me thinking, what if I tried to make wine myself? Surely I could do somewhat better than all those other people who make wine if I just put in a good amount of effort into the process. It was a crazy idea, but I figured that every smart idea in the world starts out of something crazy, right? I also figured it would be fun to see just what types of wine I could produce. I have seen so many brands popping up selling wines of all sorts I did extensive research and found out that there is not much information out there on how to make it all blend just right, so I set out to test various methods and recipes, I would tweak this and tweak that, and in about a year's time, I finally realized, I have perfected the process. Eventually, I started making even more wine. Today, I have a small operation where I sell wines to local businesses and restaurants in my area. Most books out there will show you the process, the ingredients you need, and how it all works, but none of them show you how to make it just right. If you learn how to make a cheap $5 bottle of wine, you might as well just buy that and not spend your valuable time and effort. On the other hand, what if you knew how to make that $100 bottle of wine? Wouldn't that be worth spending your time and energy on? This book is divided into two parts. In the first part, I show you how to make wine at home. Next, in the second part, I discuss how to sell your wine and start a small business. You will learn: In part 1- What you need to start making wine Understanding the different types of wine Learning and understanding Grapes and other fruits and their variations Legal points relating to making wine Getting the equipment for winemaking safe and ready for use The fermentation process Storing wine properly The aging process In part 2- Why and how to sell your wine 6 essential aspects of selling wine Timeline for starting your wine business The legal framework for your business Understanding profit margin and markup How to promote your wine This title is currently available with the Kindle Unlimited program.
