The Wine Bottle

If you are looking for an easy, step-by-step wine making guide Delicious Wine Making Made Easy by Scott Young is it!  This book is not only easy to read it also contains all the information you will need to create a successful batch of your own wine at home – on your first try.

Scott is a confident and experienced home winemaker and shares his experience with you.  I was impressed with his writing and organizational capabilities.  His book is carefully laid out in 15 easy to follow lessons.  

You must skip even one lesson or step, for your first batch of wine could easily be turned into several bottles of vinegar.  Scott gives valuable advice on exactly what goods you will need, how much and where to find them.  You will also gain the information on the list below and more:

•    Preparation, fermentation and wine storage.
•    Collecting needed supplies.
•    Time management
•    Proper sanitizing.
•    The perfect work space.
•    Counter top space.
•    The importance of each lesson.
•    Cleaning your work space
•    The final product 

Scott reviews several types of wine making products in lesson three, given you his recommendation and suggestions.

There are fifteen lessons in all, each one just as informative and important as the previous. The last chapter contains lessons 11 – 15 which supply additional tips on upgrading and improving recipes and techniques.

The appendix contains thoughts and ideas for hosting a wine tasting.  You are given tips for evaluating and ranking wines.

“Delicious Wine Making Made Easy” is truly the crème de la crème and a must read for all wine makers.  Scott Young is not only a good winemaker but a great instructor and writer as well. After using his tips and techniques you will be assured a great bottle of homemade fruit wine.

There is another great wine making book currently available that I would like to also mention the Illustrated Guide to Homemade Wine is an exceptional book and is recommended reading as a wine making reference manual.
