This review is from: Wines from a Small Garden: From Planting to Bottling (Hardcover)
I was quite disappointed when I got the book and read it. The book focuses mainly on growing grapes in England, and some of the information in the book is not all that accurate. For example, when the author talks about pruning, he only mentions spur pruning. There are grape varieties out there whose basal buds are not fruitful where cane pruning is required.
The only satisfaction that I got from the book was that someone was successfully growing grapes and making wine in less space and in a less favorable climate than I am.

I've been making wine every year since 2006 and this book has been my main point of reference. Not only is it beautifully illustrated, but it's also a great source of information. It is,without doubt, my favourite book on the subject.

I read this book in Dutch. It gives advice on what sorts of vines are easy to grow and are resistant to diseases. What I particularly liked is that this book gives advice on the different possible ways of pruning the plant; like how to prune when growing a vine in a pot on your balcony!
