From the Author:

Fellow Home Winemakers, welcome!

Welcome to this fascinating art of home winemaking.

Interest in home winemaking has grown tremendously over the last few years. With access to many new products and processes, home winemakers are now able to produce high-quality, age-worthy wines. Whether making wine from grapes, juice or even concentrate, we want to be equipped with the knowledge to make the best wines. We want to understand the role of acidity, pH, sulfite, malolactic fermentation, filtering in crafting great wines. We derive great pleasure from our hobby.

Techniques in Home Winemaking is an A-to-Z source of home winemaking knowledge, all in a single book. It shares my knowledge and many years of experience to provide you with the best advice and latest information on how to make the best wines. It will help you build confidence in, not only making all types of wines including sparkling wine, but also how to tackle and solve some of the most challenging winemaking problems. This is truly the mark of a great winemaker!

Cheers, Daniel
