"This book is very suitable for any scientist working in the oenological field who uses MS for the development of analytical methods or who wants to determine which mass technology is the most appropriate for his/her analytical problem ." (Anal Bioanal Chem, 2010) "So in summary, an excellent book is edited very well by Riccardo Flamini and Pietro Traldi and written byreal experts in the field of mass spectrometry and wine chemistry." (Chromatographia, 6 March 2011)
