The first book to focus on the role of glass as a material of
critical importance to the wine industry For centuries glass has
been the material of choice for storing, shipping, and sipping
wine. How did that come to pass, and why? To what extent have
glassmaking and wine making co-evolved over the centuries? The
first book to focus on the role of glass as a material of critical
importance to the wine industry, The Glass of Wine answers these
and other fascinating questions. The authors deftly interweave
compelling historical, technical, and esthetic narratives in their
exploration of glass as the vessel of choice for holding, storing,
and consuming wine. They discuss the traditions informing the
shapes and sizes of wine bottles and wine glasses, and they
demystify the selection of the "right glass" for red versus white
varietals, as well as sparkling and dessert wines. In addition,
they review the technology of modern glassmaking and consider the
various roles glass plays in wineries especially in the enologist's
laboratory. And they consider the increasing use of aluminum and
polymer containers and its potential impact on the central role of
glass as the essential material for wine appreciation. * The first
book focusing on the role of glass and its central importance to
the wine industry * Written by a glass scientist at UC Davis, home
of the premier viticulture and enology program in North America *
Interlards discussions of the multi-billion-dollar glass and wine
industries with valuable technical insights for scientists,
engineers, and wine enthusiasts alike * Illustrates the wide
spectrum of bottles, carafes, decanters, and drinking glasses with
an abundance of exquisite full-color photos Both an authoritative
guide and a compelling read, The Glass of Wine tells the story of
the centuries-old marriage between an endlessly fascinating
material and a celebrated beverage. It is sure to have enormous
appeal among ceramic and glass professionals, wine makers, and
oenophiles of all backgrounds.
