CJJ Berry - First Steps in Winemaking

This is THE essential book for anybody wishing to make country wines or improve their general winemaking technique. With FULL explanations as to the theory and practice of ALL stages of the winemaking process, CJJ Berry's book is possibly the most complete reference book on the subject that has ever been printed.

 

It is so good that it has sold over 3 MILLION copies and has rarely been out of print since it was first published in 1960 !!

 

Some of the photographs may look a little dated, but the techniques are expertly explained and still perfectly valid. The numerous recipes show how you can make wine from seasonal ingredients month by month (though some of ingredients are a touch peculiar and I can heartily recommend avoiding the one for coffee wine) and a special section shows how you can make wine from your own grapes.
