oenology (enology in american english; pronounced  ) is the science and study of all aspects of wine and winemaking except vine-growing and grape-harvesting, which form a subfield called viticulture. âviticulture and oenologyâ is a common designation for training programmes and research centres that include both the âoutdoorsâ and âindoorsâ aspects of wine production. an expert in the field of oenology is known as an oenologist. the word oenology is derived from the ancient greek word Î¿á¼¶Î½Î¿Ï (oinos, "wine") and the suffix -Î»Î¿Î³Î¯Î± (-logia, "study of"). ==education and training== an increasing number of schools offer degree-granting programs in oenology and viticulture. most of these offer it as a major concentration for a bachelor of science (b.s, b.sc., sc.b) degree or offer it as a terminal masters degreeâeither in scientific or research oriented program culminating in a master of science (m.s., sc.m.) degree, or a professional degree, like cornell university's master of professional services. oenologists and viticulturalists who hold doctoral degrees often have earned them in related fields, including horticulture, plant physiology or microbiology. related non-academic titles including sommelier and master of wine certifications are more oriented toward commercial occupations in the restaurant or hospitality management industry. oenologists often work as winemakers or find employment with commercial laboratories or with groups such as the australian wine research institute. ===australia=== schools in australia tend to offer a "bachelor of viticulture" or "masters of viticulture" degree. * charles sturt university - wagga wagga, new south wales * curtin university of technology - perth, western australia * northern melbourne institute of technology - preston, victoria * university of adelaide - adelaide, south australia * queensland college of wine tourism - stanthorpe, queensland ===canada=== * brock university - st. catharines, ontario ===france=== official national diploma of oenology : * jules guyot institute - dijon * university of montpellier i - montpellier * institut national polytechnique de toulouse - toulouse * university of reims - reims * university of bordeaux - bordeaux other wine diplomas : * universitÃ© du vin - suze-la-rousse * universitÃ© de bourgogne - dijon ===italy=== * university of padua - padua ===new zealand=== * lincoln university - christchurch * eastern institute of technology - hawke's bay ===south africa=== * university of stellenbosch - stellenbosch ===switzerland=== * changins - nyon ===united kingdom=== * blake hall college
