Techniques in Home Winemaking: A Practical Guide to Making Chateau-Style Wines

Techniques in Home Winemaking is an easy-to-use, clearly-illustrated book that caters to novices and advanced winemakers alike. It allows home winemakers to make informed decisions on how to make the best wines from concentrates, juices, or grapes using equipment according to their needs and means.

The chapters are laid out in a logical sequence, from crushing to bottling, in the same order as the handy flowcharts that are provided in the early pages of the book.

In the new edition of Techniques in Home Winemaking, author Daniel Pambianchi has completely updated all aspects of the book and has added an additional 30 pages. Expanded sections describe the instruments and procedures for monitoring and controlling acid, pH and sulphite levels; introduces new recently-available winemaking equipment; provides step-by-step instructions for making world-class sparkling wines; discusses winemaking problems; and includes numerous new pictures and diagrams.

Daniel Pambianchi is a regular columnist for WineMaker magazine as well as serving as Technical Editor. He is a member of the American Wine Society and the Society of Wine Educators. He lectures frequently on the subject of home winemaking in addition to providing training seminars. Techniques in Home Winemaking is the result of years of practical home winemaking experience and literature surveys.
