Term (also viticulture) for all activities from the vineyard to the wine cellar for the purpose of producing wine. The technical measures in the cellar from pressing to bottling, on the other hand, are usually referred to as vinification. Oenology encompasses the science of wine and winemaking; one sub-area is ampelography (vine science). See also under the keywords wine production volumes (wine volumes and vineyards in all countries), grape variety (the top 150) and grapevine (complete list of all terms relevant to grape varieties).

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
