A winemaker or vintner is a person engaged in winemaking . They are generally employed by wineries or wine companies , where their work includes:
42-581: Today, these duties require an increasing amount of scientific knowledge, since laboratory tests are gradually supplementing or replacing traditional methods. Winemakers can also be referred to as oenologists as they study oenology – the science of wine. A vintner is a wine merchant . In some modern use, particularly in American English , the term is also used as a synonym for "winemaker". The term started in Middle English , superseding
84-466: A vineyard for winemaking. The word connotes or emphasizes the critical role that vineyard placement and maintenance has in the production of high-quality wine. The term, French for someone who grows grapes or makes wine, is often used in Australia to describe a winemaker who is also involved as an owner or manager as opposed to a person who is employed only to make wine, who is generally referred to as
126-518: A focus on research, granting access to doctoral programs. In South Africa, the BSc is taken over three years, while the postgraduate BSc (Hons) entails an additional year of study. Admission to the honours degree is on the basis of a sufficiently high average in the BSc major; an honours degree is required for MSc level study, and admission to a doctorate is via the MSc. In Brazil , a Bachelor of Science degree
168-417: A license in a discipline. They are specific to a field and awarded to students upon completion of a course of study which lasts at least four and usually five years. In most cases, at the end of a course and as a mandatory condition for its completion (and ultimately, to obtain a degree), students are compelled to produce an original research project related to their field. This project is usually referred to as
210-595: A master's degree (MSc) is also possible, which takes 3 to 5 periods more (1.5 to 2.5 years more). Commonly in British Commonwealth countries and Ireland graduands are admitted to the degree of Bachelor of Science after having completed a programme in one or more of the sciences. These programmes may take different lengths of time to complete. A Bachelor of Science receives the designation BSc for an ordinary degree and BSc (Hons) for an honours degree .

294-720: A profession in that discipline. The following are the subjects that, regardless of country, are offered in a BSc program: In some institutions, there are historical and traditional reasons that govern the granting of BS or BA degrees regardless of the disciplines offered. Georgetown University 's School of Foreign Service awards the Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (BSFS) degrees to all of its undergraduates, although many students major in humanities-oriented fields such as international history or culture and politics. University of Pennsylvania 's Wharton School awards
336-577: A research program for the degree of Master of Science (M.S., Sc.M.), e.g. the master of professional studies degree. Oenologists and viticulturalists with doctorates often have a background in horticulture , plant physiology , and microbiology . Related to oenology are the professional titles of sommelier and master of wine , which are specific certifications in the restaurant business and in hospitality management . Occupationally, oenologists usually work as winemakers, as wine chemists in commercial laboratories, and in oenologic organisations, such as
378-660: A student to the degree of Bachelor of Science was the University of London in 1860. In the United States, the Lawrence Scientific School first conferred the degree in 1851, followed by the University of Michigan in 1855. Nathaniel Shaler , who was Harvard's Dean of Sciences, wrote in a private letter that "the degree of Bachelor of Science came to be introduced into our system through the influence of Louis Agassiz , who had much to do in shaping
420-514: A thesis (although the term actually corresponds to post-graduate studies). In Australia, the BSc is generally a three to four-year degree. An honours year or a master's by research degree is required to progress on to the stage of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). In New Zealand, in some cases, the honours degree comprises an additional postgraduate qualification. In other cases, students with strong performance in their second or third year, are invited to extend their degree to an additional year, with

Négociant is the French term for a wine merchant who assembles the produce of smaller growers and winemakers and sells the result under its own name. Négociants buy everything from grapes to grape must to wines in various states of completion. In the case of grapes or must,

However, in practice it is not uncommon for students to complete such programs over the course of ten years, while studying full-time without leaves of absence. This is in part due to a strict grading system where the highest grade of a typical class can be as low as 60% (C-). There are studies that suggest
546-520: Is " Licenciado en Ciencias ", which can be obtained as a result of completing a 4–6 year program. However, in most cases, 4-year programs will grant a Bachelor of Applied Science (Spanish: "Licenciatura en Ciencias Aplicadas" ) degree, while other 4-year programs will not grant to an academic degree. Many universities in Europe are changing their systems into the BA/MA system and in doing so also offering

In Scotland, where access to university is possible after one less year of secondary education, degree courses have a foundation year making the total course length four years. In Ireland,
714-781: Is usually a three-year graduate program in India offered by state and central universities . Some independent private colleges can also offer BS degrees with minimum changes in curriculum. B.Sc. is different from Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) or Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) . Two exceptions are the B.Sc.

If he buys already fermented wine in barrels or en-vrac —basically in bulk containers, he may age the wine further, blend in other wines or simply bottle and sell it as is. The result is sold under the name of the négociant , not the name of the original grape or wine producer. Some négociants have a recognizable house style. Négociants , who are also called wine merchants/traders, were

1470-445: The former BS was changed to BSc (Hons), which is awarded after four years. The BSc (Ord) is awarded after three years. Formerly at the University of Oxford , the degree of BSc was a postgraduate degree; this former degree, still actively granted, has since been renamed MSc. In Chile , the completion of a university program leads to an academic degree as well as a professional title. The academic degree equivalent to Bachelor of Science
