Following the enormous, decade-long success of his best-selling Winery Technology and Operations, physical chemist and winemaker Yair Margalit comes out with the successive, Concepts in Wine Technology, fully updated and revised to meet the advances of modern winemaking. Among the extended topics are fermentation, skin contact, acid balance, phenolics, bottling, the use of oak and quality control. He begins in the vineyard discussing proper maturation, soil and climate, bunch health, vineyard disease states and grape varieties. Next he tackles the pre-harvest with a careful look at vineyard management and preparing the winery for harvest. Dr. Margalit then outlines the entire process of harvesting, from destemming, crushing and skin contact as it applies to both red and white grapes to pressing, must correction and temperature control. Fermentation is examined fully and includes a lengthy look at the factors affecting malo-lactic fermentation and its pros and cons. There is a huge chapter on cellar operations that deals with racking, stabilization, fining, filtration, blending and maintaining winery hardware, followed by sections on barrelling and bottling. The final chapter pulls together the more general aspects of wine technology, covering sulphur-dioxides, different forms of wine spoilage and ways to ward them off, legal regulations and, one of the most important and enigmatic compounds in wine, phenolics.

Concepts in Wine Technology Yair Margalit 9781935879947 Books Reviews
- A lot of technical and very useful information especially on wine chemistry. The chemistry may be a little advanced for all but the most serious winemaker and those with some scientific background. Covers a lot of topics from pre-harvest all the way through wine aging and evaluation. A lot of useful information on potential wine problems and their avoidance. Diagrams and illustrations are well done and complement the text. My only negative thoughts were that there was a lot of time spent on describing byproducts of grape fermentation but little or nothing given to explaining if all of those compounds were desirable, and if not how to control or eliminate them (only reason I gave the book a four instead of five star rating).
- The book is very detailed, in fact there is a ton of information in a small space. So much so that a person that is not great with chemistry will find themselves confused a lot of the time. I recommend taking a chemistry class before buying this book.
- Great read, very informative, a "must" if you're into winemaking
- Not a book for beginners. I purchased this book as a resource for potentially Master of Wine studies. Goes into great detail, including the chemistry, behind the creation of this amazing beverage. A lovely book for the wine geek or chemistry geek that loves wine. Well done.
- Covered the more technical aspects I could not find elsewhere.
- This book is short but describes all the steps it takes to make wine. It is a great introduction to the subject. I especially liked the chapter on how different inputs of the wine maker can affect the final product.
- Comprehensive with concrete data.
- essential resource for the home winemaker
