FDSC 5400
Wine and Grapes: Composition and Analysis

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.

VIEN 5400 is a 2-credit course (1 credit lecture, 1 credit lab) with an emphasis on understanding the practice and theory behind analytical techniques routinely used in the wine and grape industries, and the statistical tools used to evaluate the effectiveness of both analyst and assay. The course is designed to provide practical skills complementary to other courses. VIEN 5400 is restricted to graduate students; undergraduates should enroll in VIEN 2400.

When Offered Spring.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: two semesters of chemistry, and one semester of statistics, or permission of instructor.

Outcomes
  • Interpret commonly measured quantitative and qualitative metrics relevant to grapegrowing and winemaking and their utility in wine (grape) production (the WHY?).
  • Evaluate advantages and disadvantages of different methodologies for measuring wine and grape components, including methods that you have no prior experience with (the WHAT?).
  • Demonstrate proficiency with routine protocols in wine and grape analysis, in preparation for later VIEN courses, internships, research, etc. (the HOW?).
  • Critique the analytical proficiency of themselves or their classmates using concepts from statistics and general chemistry.
