 Modern Winemaking January 12, 2007

EXCELLENT book. I have been making wine for 6 years and this has been the most informative, precise book I have ever come across. It includes everything you need to know to make perfect wines. It also has great tips on growing grapes. This is definitely the bible of winemaking!

I was first reluctant to purchase this book until I read the contents of the index off the website. It had information I was looking for concerning certain types of grapes that was particularly hard for me to find elsewhere. When I got the book I was surprised to find out that it is a complete front to back wonder. It has so much information packed inside that you wouldnt believe. From what type of grapes to use for a particular kind of wine to formulas for what type of additives you need. This book is AWESOME to say the least. I have been making wine my whole childhood and learned alot from this book already.....A+ !

An excellent technical manual, or guide for someone desiring to set up a small commercial winery, but not for the beginner or aspiring home wine maker. There are several other books available on the topic of home wine making which cover the basics and have excellent recipes to get started. This book does cover the complete gamut of wine making from grape varieties, their attributes, and how they are grown, to the fermenting, all of the equipment and chemicals used in commercial wine making, aging, bottling, and storage.

This is very well written book packed w/a lot of information. It is a good reference book and would be helpful in every winemakers library. It is more technical for some...but it just depends on what you are interested in. This book would be best for those who are interested in eventually making high quality wines... and for those who want to know the details of how wine is actually produced (chemical processes, etc.) from a research chemist (and lover of fine wines) point of view.

Modern Winemaking has quite a bit of useful information, and it's well-written and informative. However, this is not a book for beginning home winemakers. Jackisch spends a lot of time on the chemistry of wine (an important topic) but comes up short in practical suggestions, sensory evaluation, equipment choices, and other important areas. That said, if you're looking for more advanced info on wine chemistry than can be found in the introductory books, by all means give this book a try. PS: UC Davis Enology dept. has an EXCELLENT .pdf book available for free download. Don't miss it.
