Wine, cider, juice, sparkling wine, vinegar and liqueur from your own fruit. Das Maischewerk-Weinbuch takes you from the first apple to the corked bottle. It explains what yeast, sugar and acid do in the demijohn, how to measure instead of guessing and what to do when a wine goes astray. The book is written in German.
