Product Description
Product Description
Port and sharries, whites, reds, roses and melomels - make your own wine without owning a vineyard! If you can follow a simple recipe, you can create delectable table wines in your own home. It's fun, it's easy - and the results will delightfully complement your favourite meals and provide unparalleled pleasure by the glass when friends come calling. You don't have to re-create Bordeaux in your basement to be a successful home vintner - you can make raisin wine and drink it like sherry, or use it to accent your Chinese cooking. Raspberry or apricot wine lend themselves to delicious desserts. And if you are interested in more exotic concoctions, rhubarb champagne is the ultimate treat. "The Joy of Home Winemaking" is your comprehensive guide to: the most up-to-date techniques and equipment; readily available and affordable ingredients and materials; aging, bottling, racking, blending, and experimenting; dozens of original recipes for great-tasting fruit wines, spice wines, herb wines, sparkling wines, sherries, liqueurs, even homemade soda; a sparkling brief history of winemaking; helpful illustrations and glossary; and, an extensive mail-order resource section.

Format:Paperback
Let me use that old cliche, if you only buy one book on home wine-making then buy this one.
I have seven books on making wine. This is the one I always turn to first and the only one I have read cover to cover.
It is very readable, the only winemaking book I have with a sense of humour. It covers almost everything you could want. From the real basics, to really quite advanced stuff. It even has a potted history of winemaking.
But most of all the recipes never cease to turn out top notch wine, from bog-standard apple through unusual ones like kiwi to the use of herbs and spices.
Oh and don't be put off by the fact that it is of American origin. This usual puts me right off this kind of book. Not in this case though.
So what are you waiting for?

This book is terrific for anyone thinking of trying winemaking. The author takes the beginner through the steps for a basic wine recipe, using few pieces of equipment. Then, for the brave who wish to continue, Garvey adds complexity to each successive recipe, leaving champagne-making for the end. Terrific book with great recipes and easy to follow tips. Just enough humor to encourage new winemaker, and plenty of recipes for the gardner with leftover produce -- from rasberries to potatoes.

I started making wine with this book. It covers home winemaking very well and even walks you through making the first batch of wine. It has many recipes and covers ciders, champagnes. The tips and tricks that the author gives help the beginner winemaker new ideas and newer tricks to use. I've recommended this to a lot of people I know who want to get into it.
