    SUBJECT: OENOLOGY

    LESSON 1: introduction to oenology


    Learning Objectives: At the end of the unit, the students should be able to:
     Differentiate oenology and enology.
     Discuss the meaning of oenology and enology.

    OENOLOGY is the science and study of wine and winemaking. The English word oenology derives from the
    word oinos ―wine (οἶνος) and the suffix –logia ―study of (-
    λογία) from the Ancient Greek language. It is distinct from
    viticulture which involves the agricultural endeavours of vine
    growing and of grape-harvesting. An expert in the field of
    oenology is known as an oenologist.

    Wine is basically an alcoholic beverage made from fermented grapes. These


    grapes are generally Vitis vinifera, or a hybrid with Vitis labrusca or Vitis
    rupestris. Grapes are fermented without the addition of sugars, acids,
    enzymes, water, or other nutrients. Yeast consumes the sugar in the grapes
    and converts it to ethanol and carbon dioxide. Different varieties of grapes
    and strains of yeasts produce different styles of wine. These variations
    result from the complex interactions between the biochemical development
    of the grape, the reactions involved in fermentation, the terroir, and the
    production process. Many countries enact legal appellations intended to
    define styles and qualities of wine. These typically restrict the geographical
    origin and permitted varieties of grapes, as well as other aspects of wine
    production. There are also wines made from fermenting other fruits or
    cereals, whose names often specify their base. Wines made from plants
    other than grapes include rice wine and various fruit wines such as those
    made from plums or cherries. Some well-known examples are hard cider
    from apples, pomegranate wine, and elderberry wine. The

    Philosophy of Wine Making


    Many wine connoisseurs think of it as an art, wine researchers tend to think of it as a science. It can fall under
    both categories, it is a craft. The art is in finding out what tastes "good" by doing tasting trials, blends etc. and
    the science comes from determining the methods required to produce what tastes "good", what techniques
    should be used to get the desired results.

    The Characteristic of Good Wine


     The Ability to Please Both the Palate and the Intellect - Great
    wines offer satisfaction on a hedonistic level, and also challenge and satiate
    the intellect. The world offers many delicious wines that appeal to the senses,
    but lack profundity. The ability to satisfy the intellect is subjective, but experts
    often prefer wines with multiple dimensions, both aromatic and flavor.

     The Ability to Hold the Taster's Interest - Profound wines could


    never be called monochromatic or simple. They hold interest, not only
    providing an initial tantalizing tease, but possessing a magnetic attraction due
    to their aromatic intensity and nuance- filled layers of flavors.
     The Ability to Offer
    been easy to produce wines that are oversized, bold, big, rich, but heavy.
    It has been said that Europe's finest wines have intense flavors without
    heaviness.

     The ability to provide intensity without heaviness - In some parts


    of the New World it has been easy to produce wines that are oversized,
    bold, big, rich, but heavy. It has been said that Europe's finest wines have
    intense flavors without heaviness. The ability to provide intensity without
    heaviness is a possible strength.

     The Ability to Taste Better with Each Sip - Most of the finest
    wines are better with the last sip than the first, revealing more nuances
    and more complex aromas and flavors as the wine unfolds.

     The Ability to Improve with Age - In the past, longevity was certainly not a feature of importance to most
    winemakers. However, discusses at the 2011 Wineries Unlimited
    meeting, for better or worse, many consider this is an indisputable
    characteristic of great wines.
