Wine Cooper

Originally, the cooper was the barrel master of a winery, responsible for the production, installation and maintenance of the barrels. The name is derived from the cooperage (barrel production). Later it developed into the responsibility for the cellar work during the winemaking process. Instead, in Germany, the new professional title of wine technologist was introduced from 2014. See also under viticulture training.

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.
