Wine process book review
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I found the Complete Handbook of Winemaking by the American Wine Society to be very readable and found that it covered the whole wine making process very well. Not only did it outline the wine making, but addressed almost any problem situation that might arise and offered solutions to most of them. All-In-All it was worth the time and expense.
Perfect for me

My son found this book and I had to get my own copy. We have been making wine for a few years but we were making mistakes and pouring it down the drain. Now we know why!

This is a good book for beggining wine makers. there are more indepth tomes but for the money this is your best bet to start with......
Both beginning and advanced winemakers will profit from it.

This is an anthology of articles, many of which are quite technical but nonetheless good. By the same token, there is enough here to contribute to most readers' education and make him or her a better winemaker. You may learn things you don't need to know in the process, but knowledge should be its own reward.Frankly, I enjoyed this book. Much of what is written elsewhere on the subject is for the beginner and is all too ofter the same basics as were in the previous dozen books on the subject. It's nice to read (and learn) something new for a change. Just as -- if not more -- importantly, it's nice to learn why something you knew to be so is, in fact, so.If you simply don't understand the nuances of acidity -- and many people don't -- or just want to learn the finer points of blending, this book will pay for itself with better wines in the future. What more could you ask for?This book, even in paperback, makes an especially attractive gift -- to yourself o! r to another.
For the science minded

If you have a engineers or any other type of scientific background and love winemaking this book is for you. This book is a compliation of papers going over different ascepts of wine and winemaking. Scienctific priniciples are used and explained in this book quite a bit. Most of the contributors are former chemists and scientistics
