Overview

First published in 1923, this volume contains a detailed treatise on the various diseases and ailments of grape vines, written by F. T. Bioletti. 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. Contents include: Symptoms and Types , Type I. California (Or Anaheim) Vine Disease and Santa Clara Disease , Type II. Black Measles, Spanish Measles, Black Mildew , Type III. Water Berries and Grape-shrivel , Relation of Crop and Water Supply , etc. 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.
