Can anyone recommend any good books/websites on wine making for a
complete
beginner? I'd love to try making wines with some of the stuff I've
grown.

First Steps in Winemaking by C.J.J.Berry, ISBN 1-85486-139-5

(Now) Published by Nexus Special Interests


Thanks Rusty. Amazon have two left, must be a good book being as it was
first published in 1960

42 years is as nothing in the history of winemaking

apparently! It's not too outdated is it?

Why on earth should it *ever* get outdated?
It is arguably the best introductory book to home winemaking there is.



Well I'm a complete beginner so I don't know these things you see. I do know
that you add a few "powders n potions" though and I wondered if in 1960 they
were using different things to what people use today. It's not quite the
same as a 1960's cook book... well it might be, but anyway that's my
explanation Franz. I am definitely getting the book though, so thanks both
:-)


Franz.
