Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Written by a vintner and science editor with twenty-five years experience, The Way to Make Wine is the most readable and reliable handbook among the many winemaking guides. In engaging conversational prose, Sheridan Warrick shows that making your own wine is not only easy, but also fun. Geared to everyday wine lovers who want to drink well, save money, and impress their friends, this book reveals everything needed to make delicious wines--both reds and whites--from start to finish.
Warrick demystifies winemaking by explaining the nuts and bolts and demonstrating that if readers can replace a faucet washer or cook a pasta sauce, they can make food-friendly wines that cost less than the bottles they're now opening. He enables amateur vintners to equip a home winery, procure top-quality grapes, run a flawless fermentation, and enjoy their wine--its nose, its body, and finish--with renewed awareness and appreciation. At the same time, the author points experienced home vintners to new skills, describing top wineries' techniques. Rich with insiders' know-how, this book also divulges the many advances that have been made in the past few decades and makes clear that, with enologists' innovations, home winemaking is easier than ever. With straightforward illustrations of key steps, this book offers one-stop shopping for anyone who's ever dreamed of making table wines at home.
* two step-by-step sections: one for beginners, one for experienced home vintners
* sidebars offer quick tips and key elements of winemaking lore
* includes the only clear and comprehensive guide to minimizing the use of sulfites in wine
* section on suppliers and labs provides a wealth of information on sources of fine wine grapes




Rating: - Not for the beginner
According to this book, you'll need lots of specialized equipment and $$ to make your own wine. Disappointing.

Rating: - MMMM Wine
If you do not like cleaning dishes then don't start wine making. I am a homebrewer and in wine making everything has to be sterile more than brewing beer. If you choose to make wine the this book is for you. Has step by step process of making wine.

Rating: - best book I've found
I've tried a bunch of books and this seems to be the best one. It's not too technical and yet it covers everything with enough detailed explanations. It's my first year making wine and the only book I'm going to use in the future.

Rating: - Great introduction for a home vintner!
An essential book for anyone interested in making wine at home. Very readable, concise and well organized. The instructions are easy to follow even for a complete beginner. Highly recommended. Please be advised, however, that the book does not contain any information about growing grapes.
