I just married into family with a vineyard in Hungary and would like to know more about the real wine-making process. Unfortunately the owners are not english speakers and can't easily teach me. The only books I see center on making it at home or learning to taste, enjoy, etc.
Can anyone recommend a book that adresses the actual industrial wine production process, inputs, supply chain, etc. ? Basically end to end wine-making.
Bryce Rankine "Making Good Wine: A Manual of Winemaking Practice for Australia and New Zealand"
I'm fairly sure it will work in Hungary as well.
Seriously, though, the book is a technobuff's winemaking manual to industrial wineries. I think this may be what you are looking for. You can find it at www.winetitles.com/au
Good luck with the winery!
