Relating to enology, the scientific study of wine and winemaking.
From 'enology' + '-ical' (adjectival suffix), formed in the 19th-20th centuries as wine science became a legitimate academic field.
Enological research has revealed that wine quality isn't magic—it's microbiology, chemistry, and physics working together, and modern enological methods can predict a wine's future flavor from its chemistry alone.
