Fun book!

This is an excellent book. Fun to read and fun to try!

Wild Wines and Meads

This book is full of the most interesting and wonderful recipes for mead that I have seen so far. Simple, easy to follow instructions. No guesswork. Love it!

WILD WINE & MEADS

WHAT A GREAT BOOK! A PLUS FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES TO EXPERIMENT IN THE KITCHEN ESPECIALLY WITH OUR "GOD GIVEN" FRUITS AND VEGETABLES OF THE WOODS...

Finally!

Many years ago when I started making my own wine, I had receipes for fruit wines including Pineapple, Strawberry and even a Strawberry/Vanilla wine. I lost that small book and went without for many years. If you have any interest in making fruit and herb wines (They Make Great Gifts!) then try this book. It will keep you busy for quite some time.

Outstanding recipe resource

Very Very little in this boon on the how-to of wine making but if you're an experienced wine maker and you're looking for a recipe book for mead and wine this is the one to get. Tons of stuff.

Making Wild Wines & Meads: 125 Unusual Recipies Using Herbs,

From the novice vinter to a more experienced hand, this book is one of the better ones I have seen. At the start, the author describes and explains the homewine-making process, the equiptment necessary, the "lingo", and gives a desent time-line for completion. The recipies are usually simple and are for one-gallon batches. Some are a little weird, but it does say "unusual" in the title. A definate recommendation for anyone who is avidly homebrewing wine or mead.Wassail!
