best yet
This is the third copy of this book I have purchased. I gave the first one away. Ordered another for a friend and hope I can hold on to this copy for a while. I find this the best and easiest to follow and have made multible wines with these receipes. I highly recommend the book - especially the Mead.

Great Book for the Beginner and Expert Alike!
This book has many, many recipes that can inspire even the most seasoned winemaker, yet it is simple enough for the beginner. A must-have, in my opinion.

Too brief to give the beginner any confidence
The book is essentially divided into two sections. The first covers the basic principles of wine making: the science behind it, the key ingredients, and the necessary tools and techniques. The second half is a pretty substantial list of recipes, concentrating heavily on country wines.

Sadly, the coverage of the principles and techniques was too brief, particularly with regard to timing. I am still at a bit of a loss as to how long one should allow the aerobic ferment to take place, how long for the anaerobic format and so on. I think I'll be getting another book that focuses more on technique before I make my first attempt.
