Book Reviews of Winemaking: Recipes, Equipment, and Techniques for Making Wine at Home
Book Review: Not for Brand-New Beginners
Summary: 3 Stars
For beginners, I would rate the book 2 stars. For more experienced winemakers, this would be a fantastic reference book.
After reading the reviews here, I purchased this book, to be our very first book to tell us how to make wine. At the same time, I was trying to purchase winemaking equipment as a Christmas gift for my husband and was hoping this book would help me know what to buy. The book has a lot of recipes and great details, but not a really simple step-by-step "how-to" for the person who knows nothing at all about winemaking. The 10 minute free video that came with the equipment I bought showed more step-by-step than this book.
There is no index.
I think my husband would take one look at this book and say "Wow, I don't have the time to read this and figure it all out!" It leaves me with the impression that winemaking is difficult, tricky, and time-consuming.
Example: When I was trying to figure out what corks to buy, it does tell to use 1 1/3 inch corks for wines you intend to drink within 12-18 months and 1 3/4 inch ones for those to be aged longer. But that's all it tells. It doesn't tell me whether to buy straight ones or tapered ones, #7, #8, #9, etc.
I am now going to buy First Steps in Winemaking, hoping that will have some simpler answers.
