Editorial Reviews: Product Description Anyone who ever wanted to have homemade wine and never thought they had the space or ability to make it will love this book. The Backyard Vintner is a handy guide to at-home wine making that teaches readers the tips and tricks of the trade. It is perfect for those who want to bring the feeling of wine country right into their own backyard. The Backyard Vintner teaches readers how to start and maintain a vineyard, providing vital information on topics such as planting, trellising, and proper pruning techniques for grapes; which grape varieties will grow best in every climate or region; and the wines that can be made from each variety. Basic recipes for wines, and advice on topics such as bottling, storing, and serving wines, are also provided.

Customer Reviews: Growing grapes made easy July 28, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This book provides usefull and pertinent information all the way from the grape planting process to the wine making process. He walks you through every step carefully, but does not suggest a robotic structure for making wine, he leaves open oppertunies to show your own creativity. Touches on the important points July 26, 2007 5 out of 5 found this review helpful I've purchased several "how to" wine books and this one is good, but not great. I would not rely on it as my only reference. Rather, it makes a very good companion for "From Vines to Wines." For general information only. July 11, 2007 5 out of 7 found this review helpful The Backyard Vinter presented only general information about wine making, not specific enought for an individual wanting to learn how to make wine. great book February 16, 2006 6 out of 12 found this review helpful Very comprehensive and thorough. Good reading and runs one through the basics and beyond. All good.
