For wine or Agriculture nerds.

This does feel like taking a course on viticulture, which is what I was looking for.

An excellent deepdive into viticulture

Very technical and comprehensive (in my opinion) - I really learned a lot! One of the most informative audiobooks on the topic. Narrated in a very accessible style. Worth every credit!
