 The way to make wine; how to craft superb table wines at home / Sheridan Warrick April 5, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This material takes you from the unpicked grape to the finished product. The importance of sanitizing equipment, what you should have and what you can do without are all covered. The only drawback is that fruits other than grapes are not mentioned. The author believes that non-grape wines are lesser than grape wines. As is true in just about any other field two winemakers will producr three or more opinions on each aspect of the art. This book does not agree with any other wine making information source thus it is very valuable. I would recommend this book to the beginning wine maker along with the several others offered for sale at Amazon (this is not a paid advertisement) such as The art of making wine. Remember that every one has their own point of view and do that which works for you.
 Terrific how-to book , thank you Mr. Warrick February 28, 2008

I loved reading this book, Warrick really knows his wine-making. He explains when, how, and in what order to ad this and that, temperatures to keep, tools and equipement to buy etc., after reading this book, I feel that I have enough knowledge to make a few gallons of bubbly delicious red wine. This book is very comprehensive and easy to read with more than enough information to enable you to make wine.
Excellent Read and Very Informative October 10, 2007

This book is easy to understand and should enable a novice to walk through the wine making process with ease.
Very good "how to" for wine only (not growing grapes) July 26, 2007

This book is an in-depth look at the techniques for making wine with no information on growing grapes. If that suites you, then I highly recommend it. In addition to the basics, it goes into some of the more advanced techniques like carbonic maceration, etc. And as such, it offers a great breadth of knowledge. In fact, I only had one real problem with this book: the author is a bit verbose. I found myself falling asleep with paragraph after paragraph of information when a bullet point would have done nicely. That said, it isn't too bad getting too much information.
Great first wine making book - still good for those more advanced July 16, 2007

This book has been a wonderfull read, and has taken me from knowing almost nothing to feeling confident and excited about my first upcoming vintage. From understanding how to get grapes to feeling comfortable with testing for the total acidity of a wine, this book has been a real pleasure. I walked away from this book knowing much more than I did walking into it.
