Editorial Reviews: 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

Customer Reviews: Read 6 more reviews... Very informative book on winemaking May 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This is a well-written book detailing the steps for producing quality wines at home. I have made wine for several years now and I found many helpful suggestions to make my vintage even better. It works well for the novice as well as the veteran wine-maker. Perfect for the ambitous home wine maker May 9, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful If you want to make home made wine and you actually want to make something decent this book is great. You shouldn't really need another book. The way to make wine; how to craft superb table wines at home / Sheridan Warrick April 5, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful This material takes you from the unpicked grape to the finished product. The importance of sanitizing equipment, what you should have and what you can do without are all covered. The only drawback is that fruits other than grapes are not mentioned. The author believes that non-grape wines are lesser than grape wines. As is true in just about any other field two winemakers will producr three or more opinions on each aspect of the art. This book does not agree with any other wine making information source thus it is very valuable. I would recommend this book to the beginning wine maker along with the several others offered for sale at Amazon (this is not a paid advertisement) such as The art of making wine. Remember that every one has their own point of view and do that which works for you. Terrific how-to book , thank you Mr. Warrick February 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I loved reading this book, Warrick really knows his wine-making. He explains when, how, and in what order to ad this and that, temperatures to keep, tools and equipement to buy etc., after reading this book, I feel that I have enough knowledge to make a few gallons of bubbly delicious red wine. This book is very comprehensive and easy to read with more than enough information to enable you to make wine. Excellent Read and Very Informative October 10, 2007 2 out of 3 found this review helpful This book is easy to understand and should enable a novice to walk through the wine making process with ease.
