We have started a series of wine growing and wine making slide shows to show more details on how some things are done. The intention is to illustrate some aspects of wine making or growing more in detail to give the enthusiast a better insight into each theme. For each theme we’ve created what we in lack of a better name call a Wine Tech Gallery. It’s a slide show with a series of photographs that illustrates the subject. (You can view it in full screen mode if you want.) Originally it was intended as supplementary material for our book A Wine is Born but it can of course be of interest to anyone who wants to know more about wine. Here’s what we’ve covered so far (an do come with suggestions for new subjects if you have ideas of things you’d want to see us cover):
– Noble rot
– Pumping over (remontage)
– Machine harvesting grapes
– Grape sorting and selection
– Making a wine barrel
