In Home Winemaking For Dummies , he discusses the art of winemaking from grape to bottle, including how to get the best grapes (and figure out how many you need); determine what equipment is required; select the right yeast and figure out if any other additives are needed; and store, age, and test wine.

With detailed tips on creating many varieties -- from bold reds and demure whites to enchanting roses and delightful sparkling wines -- this guide is your ultimate winemaking resource.
