A closer look at wine’s chemistry

David Sandua’s book connects wine’s sensory qualities with the chemistry involved in making it. Aroma and taste provide the entry points: the description highlights how chemical reactions contribute to aromatic profiles and how those aromas are perceived. The discussion also broadens to the winemaking process, bringing together sensory experience and enology. This framing makes the book a science-oriented introduction to the processes behind what people smell and taste in wine, without treating appreciation and production as separate subjects.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Wine enthusiasts curious about the science behind aroma and taste
  • Winemaking professionals interested in a chemistry-focused overview
  • Readers exploring enology and viticulture
