Home Winemaking For Dummies

An informative, fun guide to making your own wine

It's estimated that one million North Americans make their own
wine. Relatively inexpensive to make (a homemade bottle costs from
$2 to $4), a bottle with your own label (and grapes) is a fantasy
even someone with modest aspirations can fulfill. Author Tim
Patterson, an award-winning home winemaker, shows how it's possible
for anyone to create a great wine. In Home Winemaking For
Dummies, he discusses the art of winemaking from grape to
bottle, including how to get the best grapes (and figure out how
many you need); determine what equipment is required; select the
right yeast and figure out if any other additives are needed; and
store, age, and test wine. With detailed tips on creating many
varieties -- from bold reds and demure whites to enchanting
rosés and delightful sparkling wines -- this guide is your
ultimate winemaking resource.
