Thread: Resaerch proposal on wine microbiology

Greetings,
I have a BSc. in Plant Sciences and biotechnology. I am from Nigeria and I am preparing a Research Proposal on wine making and viticulture to submit my applications to one of the Australian university. I have chosen the topic for my proposal and have started gathering the materials for writing it but due to my lack of experience i am confused and have few questions to ask.

1. Research proposal will be the main part to get me in a post grad school. So I was thinking should a research topic be simple or a little bit complex? Should i write on the microorganisms in the winery environment? The microbial makeup of a wine fermentation?

2. I have selected the topic "wine microbiology". I am quite confused on starting my proposal... Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
