Book Description

September 2007
Every year, more people learn to appreciate wine as part of their dining experience. Certainly, a store-bought wine made from cultivated grapes can be delicious. But did you know that wonderful wines can also be made from a wide variety of fruits, flowers, leaves, and even roots? Better yet, you can prepare these unique beverages yourself in your own home using Nature’s bounty. The result will be a pure, distinctive wild wine!

Wild Wines begins by examining the differences between commercial wines, organic wines, and wild wines. Every aspect of winemaking is then explained in detail, from the use of ingredients and equipment to the brewing process. This is followed by over seventy-five wild wine recipes that use fruits, flowers, roots, or leaves. Included are handy charts that guide you in collecting the best ingredients for your homemade brews. Here is all the information you need to revel in one of life’s pure pleasures.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some caution required, April 10, 2009
This review is from: Wild Wines: Creating Organic Wines from Nature's Garden (Paperback)
This is a lovely book, written with enthusiasm and nicely presented. Sometimes it's almost inspiring.

I'm a home winemaker and bought it for the weird and wonderful recipes, though for inspiration rather than to follow literally. The reason is that her methods are unconventional to the point of endangering the wine. I add few of the commercial wine additives she lists, but one is wildly useful and important - sulfites. They've been used for hundreds of years for good reason - to suppress growth of unwanted yeasts, molds and bacteria both in the initial must and in the bottle. Beginners might play it safe, and find out how to use them properly from another source.

One other comment about organic/wild writing of this sort. Caution towards man-made chemicals is sensible, but authors often don't appreciate or stress (if they understand) that man-made chemicals are often pure and controlled versions of naturally occurring substances. Citric acid is citric acid whether it comes from a lemon or a winemaking supply store.

And likewise, some additives may not have had their health risks fully characterized, but the same applies to 'wild' plants. The health risks of making and drinking any of these wines are likely negligible, but I'd be staggered if they were less than drinking store-bought wine.

This review is from: Wild Wines: Creating Organic Wines from Nature's Garden (Paperback)
I love this book. It really opened my eyes to all the advantages of making my own wines from scratch. Not only does it give me the plants and plant parts that can be used but it also gives a description of the finished product.
