Customer Review: Great beginner book
I bought this book when I got started making wine and I still use it. I have recommended it to several friends who want to start making their own wine. It goes into what the chemicals do so you know why you are doing things, and it explains the equipment. There are several levels of various recipes to try out also. This is a great all around wine book!
