and Making Your Own Wine
In continuous print since 1985, when it was first published by Harper & Row, From Vines to Wines has become the standard work that helps people grow grapes and make wine all at home. It's completely revised in an up-to-date 1999 version.
The first part of the book helps readers choose the best grape variety for their soil and area-one that will thrive and ripen fruit in their region.
The second part is everything one needs to know about planting and growing the vines, pruning them, and bringing a crop to ripeness.
The third part of the book details all the steps in winemaking, from crushing the fresh fruit to storing the finished bottles.
Heres what a few readers posted on the amazon.com site for the book:
-"The new revision is an excellent book for anyone putting in a new vineyard or thinking about winemaking. You do NOT want to pass up this book. It's right on the money." Vernon Jenewein, Oshkosh, NE
-"Of all the books I have read on growing grapes and making wine, and I have read a few, this is the most comprehensive and useful. Jeff Cox is a master at making even the most difficult aspects of viticulture easy to understand. I recommend this book to anyone." Marcel Fleurie, Canada
-"One of the best introductions to backyard grapegrowing and basement winemaking available today. Cox's winemaking chapters are probably the best Ive seen." A reader from Madison, WI
