COURSE DESCRIPTION |
Course objectives |
Enabling students for: - Acquire fundamental knowledge of grape maturity and quality of grape, composition and quality of must and wine - Acquire fundamental knowledge of technological processes and principles in production of different types of wines - Acquire fundamental knowledge about the factors that affect the quality of wine - Knowledge of chemical composition and sensory characteristics of wine |
Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course |
|
Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes) |
Students after successfully learning course can: - know the chemical composition of grapes and understand how grape maturity affects on wine quality - explain alcoholic and malolactic fermentation - know the role of biochemical and microbiological processes in the formation of wine quality - explain the role of pre-fermentation and postfermentation processes and their impact on the quality of wine - apply technological processes in the production of različitih vrsta vina - apply basic physico-chemical methods in must and wine quality analysis - know the processes of wine maturation and ageing - acquire fundamental knowledge of the sensory properties of wine - provide with information about low regulation and restrictions in wine production |
