Oeneology

Oenology is the science and study of wine and winemaking. It involves understanding how grapes grow, how different fermentation processes affect flavor, aroma, and texture, and how various techniques influence the final product. Oenologists analyze wine’s chemical composition, aging, and storage to ensure quality and consistency. The field combines aspects of biology, chemistry, and sensory analysis to improve wine production and help winemakers craft desired styles. Essentially, oenology is the exploration of how nature and science come together to create the complex, nuanced beverage known as wine.
