| Publisher Description: "A New Wine-Cooling Machine" is a 1906 guide to the construction of a wine-cooling machine written by F. T. Bioletti. Originally developed for temporary use in Bioletti's wine-making experiments, the machine was found to be so effective and relatively simple to build that explanations are given here for its construction and use in wineries. This volume is recommended for those with an interest in the history of wine-making and the developments of related technology in particular. Frederic Theodore Bioletti (1865 - 1939) was an English-born American vintner. He studied at the University of California, Berkeley from 1889 to 1900, where he worked with prominent soil scientist Professor E.W. Hilgard. His work with Hilgard on the fermentation of wines under different conditions were significant in helping California vintners to refine their wine production practices and improving the resulting wines. Bioletti was the first chair of the Department of Viticulture and Enology and founded the grape breeding program at the University of California Agricultural Experiment Station. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author and introduction on winemaking. |
