The Great Wine Grapes and the Wines They Make, limited first edition, 1977, hardcover, illustrated, 26.6 cms x 34.8 cms x 3.2 cms, some edgewear to dust jacket, otherwise condition: very good.

 This volume provides scientifically correct information about the classic wine grapes first...followed by expert data about the wines each grape produces. Logically, Bern Ramey, Professor of Enology, takes the position that before there can be a great wine, there must be a great grape.

(Enology, also spelled oenology, is the science and study of wine and winemaking. It encompasses the scientific aspects of wine production, from grape growing and harvesting (viticulture) to the final product, including chemistry, microbiology, and sensory evaluation.)
