| Description: | Immersion trip. Registration through instructor. DV1-277-03: The Chemistry of Wine. The Chemistry of Wine will explore the chemistry and technology of modern wine making and analysis. Primary literature and a wine chemistry text will form the core material for the course, with representative wine parings chosen to accompany each topic. The course will combine elements of organic chemistry, biochemistry, and analytical chemistry together with a basic study of geography, history, culture, and tasting protocols. Specifically, the course will explore i) how the chemical components of grapes and wine are influenced by terroir, climate, fermentation, and viticulture, ii) the structure/ properties of these compounds and how they are measured and quantified, and iii) how these compounds impact the taste, aroma, mouthfeel, longevity, and value of wine. This course has an immersion component to the University of California Davis and the Napa Valley wine region over Thanksgiving break 2019. |
