I had never made wine before and didnt know where to begin. This book realy shows you where to begin and what you need to get started. I recomend this book.
I am with the reviewer who feels the recipes are similar with only different base ingredients. It seems the book could have more content. Once you are done with the basic information up front you sort of set the book down and don’t pick it up again. Seems a shame that I’m not drawn to read the whole thing.
I do like the book. It is good information for beginners. Just can’t give it 4 or 5 stars.
A good start for the novice wine maker. After reading I decided would let wine making be left to the pros. Better to spend $15-$50 on a good bottle of wine then make my own plunk for probably more in the long run.

This book could be reduced to one half or one third pages. The ’115 great tasting’ wines part of this book is essentially a repetition of the same basic formula over and over with only a few wines with some variation from one to the next. Basic operations are described, but I was hoping for a bit more of fine pointers. It is a good starter basic book. But save a few trees and streamline at the risk of looking like there is no content, or add some.
As a newcomer to home winemaking I found this book to be well organized, well writen and informative. It has all the details necessary to do the job properly without being overly technical. The author has a list of all the necessary equipment and a list of things that are “nice to have.” I did some research on the author and he is recognized as one of the premier wine experts in the country.
