Product Description
Written by a vintner and science editor with twenty-five years experience, The Way to Make Wine is the most readable and reliable handbook among the many winemaking guides. In engaging conversational prose, Sheridan Warrick shows that making your own wine is not only easy, but also fun. Geared to everyday wine lovers who want to drink well, save money, and impress their friends, this book reveals everything needed to make delicious wines--both reds and whites--from start to finish.
Warrick demystifies winemaking by explaining the nuts and bolts and demonstrating that if readers can replace a faucet washer or cook a pasta sauce, they can make food-friendly wines that cost less than the bottles they're now opening. He enables amateur vintners to equip a home winery, procure top-quality grapes, run a flawless fermentation, and enjoy their wine--its nose, its body, and finish--with renewed awareness and appreciation. At the same time, the author points experienced home vintners to new skills, describing top wineries' techniques. Rich with insiders' know-how, this book also divulges the many advances that have been made in the past few decades and makes clear that, with enologists' innovations, home winemaking is easier than ever. With straightforward illustrations of key steps, this book offers one-stop shopping for anyone who's ever dreamed of making table wines at home.
* two step-by-step sections: one for beginners, one for experienced home vintners
* sidebars offer quick tips and key elements of winemaking lore
* includes the only clear and comprehensive guide to minimizing the use of sulfites in wine
* section on suppliers and labs provides a wealth of information on sources of fine wine grapes

 best book I've found October 19, 2008
I've tried a bunch of books and this seems to be the best one. It's not too technical and yet it covers everything with enough detailed explanations. It's my first year making wine and the only book I'm going to use in the future.
Great introduction for a home vintner! September 30, 2008
An essential book for anyone interested in making wine at home. Very readable, concise and well organized. The instructions are easy to follow even for a complete beginner. Highly recommended. Please be advised, however, that the book does not contain any information about growing grapes.
Great Book!! September 23, 2008
This is a great book for wine makers, gives tons of suggestions! Love it!
 Very informative and well written September 22, 2008
This book is great for anyone wanting to home brew wine. I find myself referring to it over and over during the process. If i had one tiny gripe it would be that the book is heavily geared toward someone who is pressing their own grapes for juice. If you're (not as ambitious)like me you will opt for already pressed juice to avoid the hassel of a press and you may find yourself having to interpret and adjust given methods accordingly. Other than that i would highly recommend this book to all would be vinters it is a great resource.
 Wine making in a readable form September 11, 2008
Easy to read and understand but what's missing (which I had to create) was a process flow diagram showing the steps and how much of what to input at various steps (much had to be inferred from various sections of the book).
