4.0 out of 5 stars
One of the "Bibles" for backyard grape growers.,
By A Customer
This review is from: From Vines to Wines (Paperback)
Cox's "From Vines to Wines" is probably one of the best introductions to backyard grape growing and basement winemaking available today. From selecting vine stock to harvesting the crop, the first half of the book covers all the bases for grape growing. The second half is dedicated to winemaking, from first establishing what type of wine you want to create to labeling the bottles. This book is definitely oriented towards the hobbyist - readers with designs for a large vineyard (1+ acres) will want to start with this book but move on to more detailed texts. Personally, I found the section on site selection and soil analysis a little thin - fine if you're limited to the space on hand (your backyard), but lacking if you want to buy acreage dedicated to a vineyard. No data was provided on small scale commercial operations or basic vineyard economics. Cox's winemaking chapters are probably the best I've seen. He goes through the whole process and highlights potential trouble areas. Overall, a very good book for the hobbyist.

The best of the best,
By A Customer
This review is from: From Vines to Wines (Paperback)
Of all the books I have read on growing grapes and making wine, and I have read a few this is the most comprehensive and useful. Jeff Cox is a master at making even the most difficult aspects of viticulture easy to understand. I recomend this book to anyone looking for an all in one guide to turning vines into wines.

From vines to wines,
By PB "PB" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: From Vines to Wines (Paperback)
For someone without green fingers who was looking to plant a small home vineyard this was absolutely priceless. With reference to planting, trellis types, cluster thinning etc I thought it worth the price and more. Even though I haven't had need for the home wine making section, I would recommend this book to any amateur who's looking for help in planting, establishing and caring for vines at home.
