The science of living beings (bíos = life and lógos = teaching) is a subfield of the natural sciences. It is concerned with the general laws of living things as well as with the special features of individual living things with their development, their building plan and the physical and biochemical processes. Concerning viticulture, see under biological viticulture and the further keywords given there.
In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
