How much does science influence the world of wine? Attilio Scienza explores the subject in Vine and Prejudice Is science biased? What is “fake science” and how has it influenced the world of wine? How can a deeper understanding of science help producers address the major challenges the planet will have to face? These are just some of the questions explored in this book. Starting from wine science, this thoughtful and at times provocative text on the history of the grapevine was born. The book explores how grapes originated, how they evolved over time and how they traveled throughout the world, creating the wine varieties we know and love today. With his unique interpretation of the history of the grapevine, Professor Attilio Scienza explains how our planet has changed over time and how grapevines have transformed during the geological development of the earth. This book traces the journey from the first grape growers to the scientists who learned how to identify, classify and cross grapevines, through to recent advances in DNA profiling. Exploring the often controversial history, fake news and ethical debates that have accompanied science, Attilio Scienza examines grape biology through the lens of sociology. Scienza also invites us to think about the future, particularly the transformations that genetic engineering and biotechnology will bring. He reflects on the morality of human interference in the natural world and asks what awaits us in the search for the perfect grape. Language: English Pages: 124
