Successful Winemaking at Home

After the introduction and the essential information, Mr. Bravery goes into a nice chapter on fruit wines including 32 different ones from the market, store or orchard but also some like elderberry, blackberry and gooseberry that are back in the field or woods behind your (well, my) house. The next chapter goes into a dozen sorts of root wines - potato, parsnip, beets, carrot, etc. Then comes a chapter on 'Ribena' wine (a new one to me). Then comes a chapter on making wines from extracts including 20 different recipes. And citrus wines, And flower wines, And dried herb wines, And dried fruits and grains.. Then in chapter twelve Mr. Bravery approaches the curious concept of making wine from grapes! Then on to making Liqueurs and a last chapter on questions and answers. This book contains directions for making lots of old forgotten, traditional and country wines made from such plants as dandelions, yarrow, parsley, clover, kummel, rhubarb, potatoes, carrots and on and on.
