Make Country Wines Phillip Richards

Do It Yourself - everything you need to know to begin making good quality wines from flowers, fruits and vegetables. Think Lemon wine, parsley wine and tangle-foot ( parsnip). Simple equipment and any additives and their simple substitutes are explained. The emphasis is not so much on recipes - of which their are plenty - but of the process which can be adapted for whatever you have available. Inexpensive substitutes are suggested. Long drinks Such as ginger-beer ( a number of recipes), lemon beer, cider and hibiscus delight are detailed. There is a short section on Mead. Country wines can be turned into interesting vinegars and, of course, your cheaply made home-made Cider makes a great cider vinegar at about $1 a litre.
