One of Europe's most renowned home winemaking authorities, H.E. Bravery, reveals for the first time over 100 recipes for top-quality, trouble-free wines, which he has collected and perfected for 20 years. In simple, step-by-step instructions, he describes his modern methods, explaining the utensils you will need and the best way to ferment, sterilize, bottle and store, right in your own home, for less than 25 cents a bottle. Included are fresh fruit wines such as blackberry, cherry, damson, raspberry and gooseberry; wines made from the root of the potato, beet, parsnip etc.; wines made from extracts and wines made from citrus fruits. Recipes for sparkling flower wines using clover, rose petals, hawthornes and others are given as well as dried fruit and grain wines and the traditional grape wines. There is an extra section for liqueurs and Party Specials and a table explaining the etiquette of wine glasses. Full of useful hints, this is the indispensible handbook for superb home winemaking.
