C J J Berry was a master on winemaking. I have bought and read most books on winemaking. This is the one I always turn back to. If you have to buy one book on homewinemaking this is the one! He begins my explaining the concepts and techniques of winemaking in easy to understand terms. He also explains the science behind the process but he is never confusing or condescending. I have never come across a problems which has not been solved by his troubleshooting section and his procedures are comprehensive but easy to follow. The remainder of the book takes you through a wine making year with suggestions, recipies and leaves you confident enough to experiment successfully. All recipes are in metric, imperial and US measures. He leaves you ... Read More:

3.The World Atlas of Wine by: Hugh Johnson, Jancis Robinson October 18, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £35.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £20.76 You Save: £14.24 (41%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.43
The ever increasing size of this book reflects the increasing interest in wine, so it now lands with an impressive thump on your desktop. Though its content doesn't always reflect who that new market is. The authors start with a, rather meandering, description of the history and production of wine and some basic notes on tasting, appreciation and handling of wine. Some of this is very useful, most of it is very basic for someone who already knows the subject and all of it could do with some editing to make the best of their material. Some of it punctures some of the myths about wine such as how long wines should be laid down and do you really need to let wine breath. Elsewhere they perpetuate some of those myths, for example they still ... Read More:

4.The Oxford Companion to Wine from: Oxford University Press September 21, 2006

. Thirty years ago this book could not have been written. With the increasing ascendancy of the New World wine makers and in particular the influence of the Davis campus of the University of California, viticulture and oenology are now rigorous, scientific and commercially oriented professions. This is reflected in the "Oxford Companion to Wine" which has to be the most comprehensive, authoritative and accessible resource dealing with all aspects of the world of wine. Jancis Robinson who edited this encyclopedia of wine is a highly respected wine writer and educator. She is also very well credentialled, holding the prestigious title of "Master of Wine". The real power of this book as an information source is the very ... Read More:

5.Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2008 (Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book) by: Hugh Johnson September 01, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.59 You Save: £4.40 (44%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.13
Johnson clearly knows his stuff and he covers the world of wine pretty well given that this is a pocket-sized edition. The book was too compact for me though and I think it suffers from too many abbreviations and too many bullet-point entries. I accept that your expectations shouldn't be too high if you are buying a compendium, as compromises do need to be made. For me, however, it was slightly difficult to find my way around and get the best out of what the book has to offer. It must also be said that the editing and proof-reading were well below expectations and, indeed, very disappointing. That said, you will still come away a lot wiser with this book so one important purpose is served. In short, ... Read More:

6.130 New Winemaking Recipes by: C.J.J. Berry December 31, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.46 You Save: £0.49 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.07
If you have enjoyed the delights of CJJ Berry's 'First Steps in Winemaking', then this is an ideal companion and the logical next step. Although one or two of the recipes have been repeated from the first book, this contains over 130 mouth-watering recipes for home-made 'country' wines. Even at today's prices, they can work out as little as 20p per 75 cl bottle!! Unlike the first book, the wines are listed in alphabetical order rather than seasonally which makes them easier to locate. The only problem I found was deciding which to make first and having to limit production to the space available in the house. For beginners, try 'First steps' first as there are more detailed instructions for home winemaking - these are bascially just recipes ... Read More:

7.Wine Behind the Label 2008: The Ultimate Guide to the Worlds Leading Wine Providers and Their Wine by: David Moore, Philip Williamson November 12, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £12.99 You Save: £7.00 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £3.99
Great wine guide. It's very similar to Hugh Johnson's pocket guide but with much greater detail. Talking of Hugh Johnson, this guide suffers from the demon proof-reader too - perhaps they've all been sampling too much vino! Unless you've got a fantastic memory, Hugh Johnson's guide is probably more useful as it can easily be carried around on wine buying trips, Wine Behind TL is really too bulky for that. Wouldn't be without it though. It's encyclopedic knowledge will help you track down the wines that you want.

8.Paris Boulangerie-Patisserie: Recipes from Thirteen Outstanding French Bakeries by: Linda Dannenberg 2005-03
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £6.61 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.58 You Save: £0.03 ( 0%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £8.71
The high quality patisseries of Paris are an extraordinary visual treat and their patisserie would be a deadly addiction were it not so rich (and expensive). Unless you employ help in the kitchen, this book should be viewed as a tour of the top Paris cake shops rather than a recipe book . In trying to recreate the gateaux in this book you might lose the will to live. Home bakery is for me half the fun of creation and half the fun seeing it disappear but this book is about art. I've also long held the suspicion that some of the awe inspiring creations are given stability and attenuation of taste by the inclusion of tallow, just as they use lard in their best croissants I think certain all butter patisserie could collapse under its own weight or leave you with heartburn. ...

9.The Wine and Food Lover's Guide to Portugal by: Charles Metcalfe, Kathryn McWhirter October 18, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £16.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £11.87 You Save: £5.08 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £12.24
At last, a guide book to Portugal that really embraces the country from a culinary and cultural point of view so that you get an idea of what makes the Portuguese tick. As the title suggests, the main focus is on wine and it is this integral part of Portuguese life that influences the choices that the authors make as to where and what to eat and drink. It goes into great depth about each region's specialities in food and drink and where you can sample them. Accommodation is often part of a working vineyard and generally chosen for the food and drink as well as the location and is therefore very different to what is usually recommended in other guide books. You might think that it aims at the upper price range only, but it covers everything from B & Bs to grand hotels. There ... Read More:

10.Wine for Dummies (For Dummies) by: Ed McCarthy, Mary EwingMulligan October 06, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.74 You Save: £5.25 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.80
The best thing about this book is that it is written by two real wine experts, who remember well what it was like to be a "wine newbie." Ed is a former teacher who became interested, in wine, and met Mary at an Italian wine tasting in New York City. Two years later, they married, and formally merged their wine cellars and wine libraries. Ed has co-authored six wine books, and is the sole author of Champagne for Dummies. He also writes for Wine Enthusiast Magazine and Decanter. Mary entered the retail wine business right out of college, when she accepted a position with the Italian Trade Commission. Today she runs a wine school based in New York City called International Wine Center, which mainly trains wine professionals. She is also a wine columnist ... Read More:
