in: Bharath Sriraman (ed), Handbook of the mathematics of the arts and sciences, Berlin, Springer, 2019Abstract
The aim of this chapter is to discuss some applications of mathematics: in oenology and in food and wine pairing. We introduce and study some partial differential equations for the correct definition of a wine cellar and to the chemical processes involved in wine aging. Secondly, we present a mathematical method and some algorithmic issues for analyzing the process of food and wine pairing done by sommeliers.
