Winner, Roederer Award for wine book of the year and a nominee for the James Beard Awards
Wine Science/The Science of Wine
Published by Mitchell Beazley (November 2005) and The University of California Press (March 2006). This won the 2006 Glenfiddich Award for best drinks book. In 2014 the second edition of this book was released, with quite a bit of revision (more details here).

Authentic wine: toward natural and sustainable winemaking

This book, written with Sam Harrop MW, was published by University of California Press in September 2011.

It explores the various dimensions of naturalness in wine, including the natural wine movement, but also with a wider scope, looking critically at issues of sustainability, authenticity and the role of human intervention in making interesting wines.

The scope is broad, taking in issues such as wine faults, yeasts, terroir, the diversity of wine, carbon footprints and marketing.
