The art of making wine / Stanley F. Anderson
Very helpful book for those who are just getting started in the making of wine and a valuable tool for those who have been making wine for a while. Covers all of he basics and gives good advice for those moments when you are scratching your head saying "now what do I do?" or "how did that happen?"

did the Australians learn how from this book?
This book is not about wine making; it is about make fruit-flavored fermented drinks. Fruit not sweet enough? No problem, add sugar. Fruit not acidic enough? No problem, add tartaric acid. Wrong yeast on the skins? No problem, we will kill that yeast anyway (and use the perfect yeast we get from the homebrew store). Make perfect wine everytime; hey, Macdonalds can do it with hamburgers. And that's what this book promises: learn the "secrets" of commercial wine producers. Altogether very dispiriting. This is the kind of thinking that is ruining the wine industry today (except that 2 percent or so doing sort-of organic wine).

Art of Making Wine
I have used the receipt for bluberry wine for 3 years with one exception: I use 3 lbs of frozen , wild bluberries and 3 large contaners of frozen white grape (skip the raisens) concentrate and have made the best red wine in years,,,, similar to MERLOT but with outstanding color and flavor.
