Default Winemaking

I can recommend "First Steps in Wine Making" by C.J.J. Berry.
It has become something of a home brewers bible.
Not only does the book have lots of recipes, it also guides you through the
wine making process, do's and don'ts, importance of sterilisation etc.
Importantly the book also gives you a "feel" for the wine making process so
you are unafraid to have a go at your own recipes. The best one I ever made
was Grapefruit and Sultana wine. Really nice flavour and very potent.

A really good home wine can be made from gooseberries - also know as "hairy
grapes"!
