Product Description
Product Description
This book is a fully updated amalgamation of two previously published titles - Growing Vines (1972) and Wines from your Vines (1974). It is concise, yet detailed, and covers all aspects from planting the vines through cropping and vinification to enjoying the final product. The quality of English wine is constantly improving and this book will help the amateur to produce high-quality wine from home-grown grapes providing the right varieties are used and the simple rules followed.
About the Author
Nick Poulter planted a commercial vineyard at Cranmore on the Isle of Wight and in the 19890s and 1990s it was producing 20,000 bottles a year from 30,000 plants

This is a great book. I own three others, probably all from Amazon, and I think Growing Vines to make wines is the best. It deals with the specifics of growing vines in the U.K. and is very clearly written. It is also very detailed. Pros and Cons of each vine are described (grown in England), everything from planting a cutting to maturing a wine, is broken down into small steps with good illustrations and photos.

This is an excellent book for people who have recently acquired a vineyard and need some serious advice. Easy to read and full of useful advice.

This book contains enough detailed advice to be useful, but not enough science to be overwhelming to the amateur. I can't recommend it enough! A great starting point for anyone thinking of growing their own vines in England with specific advice on our climate and what is achieveable. I'm a country wine maker and was glad for the detailed advice of how to take this one step further with grapes.

Only for England
A great book if you live in the UK but it is so focused on English grapes and growing conditions as to be fairly useless to anyone not growing in those conditions.
