Hanbook of Enology Volume 1: The Microbiology of Wine and Vinifications. A new book, translated from French, and thoroughly recommended |
![]() |
Hanbook of Enology Volume 2: The Chemistry of Wine Stabilisation and Treatments. Also by Ribereau-Gayon et al., and recently published and translated from French. These books are excellent in-depth texts, and importantly, make accessible a great deal of French research and experience to non-readers/speakers of the French language (ie people like me!) |

Wine Science: Principles, Practice, Perception. A very good all-round coverage of wine science, wine production, basic viticultre, and wine sensory assessment, by Ron Jackson. |

Wine Microbiology: This book by Ken Fugelsang gives a no-nonsense, and fairly practical coverage of wine microbiology, and the implications for management of pre-fermentation and post-fermentation operations. |
| Principles and Practices of Winemaking |
an excellent technical book from the UC Davis team of Roger Boulton, Vernon Singleton, Linda Bisson and Ralf Kunkee. Thorough coverage of all aspects of modern wine science. |
| Wine Microbiology and Biotechnology | Edited by Graeme Fleet, and each section written by an expert in their field. It's a few years old now, but a classic reference with excellent in-depth information and explanations of the microbial processes, good and bad, that winemakers must deal with. |
