Oenology

Encyclopedia : O : OE : OEN : Oenology

Oenology (BrE) or enology (AmE) is the science and study of all aspects of wine and winemaking from the grape harvest to bottle. An expert in the field of oenology is known as an oenologist, but can also be a winemaker.

The name is derived from Greek oenos (οίνος), meaning wine, and the suffix -logy (from the Greek λόγος, meaning speech or study).
