In 1863, the French Emperor Napoleon III encouraged Pasteur to continue his work looking at the process of fermentation to improve the quality of French wine and reduce spoilage and sour wine. Pasteur had already published papers looking at lactic acid fermentation, alcoholic fermentation and the role of yeast. His research showed that the growth of micro-organisms was responsible for fermentation (not decomposition as suggested by Liebig and others) and that treating liquids with heat would kill most such micro-organisms; a process now known as 'pasteurisation'. In 1865 Pasteur patented the process, to fight the "diseases" of wine before finishing this book which also looks at oxidation and other "diseases" of wine.
Pasteur's first major published work.
An excellent First Edition of one of the fundamental and consequential texts of wine science.
