A captivating survey of the science of wine and winemaking for
anyone who has ever wondered about the magic of the fermented grape
An excellent bottle of wine can be the spark that inspires a
brainstorming session. Such was the case for Ian Tattersall and Rob
DeSalle, scientists who frequently collaborate on book and museum
exhibition projects. When the conversation turned to wine one
evening, it almost inevitably led the two-one a
palaeoanthropologist, the other a molecular biologist-to begin
exploring the many intersections between science and wine. This
book presents their fascinating, freewheeling answers to the
question "What can science tell us about wine?" And vice versa.
Conversational and accessible to everyone, this colorfully
illustrated book embraces almost every imaginable area of the
sciences, from microbiology and ecology (for an understanding of
what creates this complex beverage) to physiology and neurobiology
(for insight into the effects of wine on the mind and body). The
authors draw on physics, chemistry, biochemistry, evolution, and
climatology, and they expand the discussion to include insights
from anthropology, primatology, entomology, Neolithic archaeology,
and even classical history. The resulting volume is indispensible
for anyone who wishes to appreciate wine to its fullest.
