Viniculture – Viticulture – What is the difference

Viniculture refers to the science, study and the production of grapes. Specifically for production of grapes for winemaking.

Viticulture refers to the same thing, but for the production of all types of grapes.

So both are the study and practice of cultivating grapes using grapevines. Its the overall goal of producing grapes that are suitable for wine making is where the difference lies. Also you may come across the word enology.
