From the novice vinter to a more experienced hand, this book is one of the better ones I have seen. At the start, the author describes and explains the homewine-making process, the equiptment necessary, the "lingo", and gives a desent time-line for completion. The recipies are usually simple and are for one-gallon batches. Some are a little weird, but it does say "unusual" in the title. A definate recommendation for anyone who is avidly homebrewing wine or mead.
Wassail!

Many years ago when I started making my own wine, I had receipes for fruit wines including Pineapple, Strawberry and even a Strawberry/Vanilla wine. I lost that small book and went without for many years. If you have any interest in making fruit and herb wines (They Make Great Gifts!) then try this book. It will keep you busy for quite some time.

The title suggest "wild recipes" and I thought that recipes would be presented which you can make mainly with wild or backyard ingredients, maybe even using wild yeasts. Instead it is a pretty usual wine making book. Nearly all recipes ask for fruit juice concentrate, even for very unusual concentrates. I have no idea where to get these concentrates, certainly not in the next supermarket.
For this reason, I think that the title is very misleading as it suggests real "back to the basic" recipes.

This book is full of really cool ideas! The recipes are easy to understand. I only wish that there were some full color pictures to help with some of the processes.

Honest book
The title says exactly what you will find in it, a series of recipes of wild wines, flower wines and so on. Many ideas came out of it. It deserves some attention.

I had never really stopped to think about the types of things that can be fermented. I knew the basic fermented beverages (beer, wine, mead, and hard cider) but that was about it. Read more
