Winemaking & Style, a Table on its Causes & Effects…

Here is a helpful table outlining the effects of winemaking techniques on the style & quality of a wine... You can find it here: http://bit.ly/1BAofp (dropbox folder).

Beyond my experience and bouncing it out with some winemakers and a few MWs at a residential seminar when I was studying the program, this table was built using many books I have used throughout my studies.  I list some of them here:

Jackson, Ronald - Wine Science 

Halliday, James; Johnson, Hugh - The Art & Science of Wine

Jackson, Ronald - Wine Tasting, A Professional Handbook

Burton, Neel; Flewellen, James - The Concise Guide to Wine & Blind Tasting

Casamayor, Pierre - How to Taste Wine

Stevenson, Tom; Avellan, Essi - Christie's World Encyclopedia of Champagne & Sparkling Wines

Buffin, Jean-Claude - EducVin, Votre Talent de Dégustation

Gros, Claude; Yerle, Stéphane - Guide Pratique de la Vinification en Rouge

Gros, Claude; Yerle, Stéphane - Guide Pratique de la Vinification en Blanc et en Rosé

Blouin, Jacques, Peynaud, Émile - Connaissance et Travail di Vin

I hope you find it useful!

I welcome any feedback!
