Introduction

This vintage book contains a complete guide to wine production, with instructions for making a variety of wines and information on different techniques, common problems, diseases and pests, and much more. This volume is highly recommended for anyone with an interest in wine making, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature.

Contents

Contents include: "Of Foreign Wines, and their Kinds", "Of Vineyards", "Species of Wine", "Subdivisions of Species", "Of the Constituent Principles of Grapes", "Of the Preparation of the Must", "Of the Fermentation", "Of Open and Close Tuns", "Of Sweet Wines", "Of Dry Wines", et cetera.

Many old works such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on making wine at home.
