I've just had this from the library, and found it a jolly good read. It's very entertaining, has a sprinkling of growing advice, new takes on old recipes (inc. how to make beetroot wine drinkable!), a few surprises (Marmite Wine, "prisoner's" wine, plenty of wines from common weeds).

There're lots of beer and cider recipes too, and unlike CJJ Berry, all these recipes have been made & tested.

It's a really good addition to the winemaking bookshelf.

Chris got it too, it was his recommendation before it was mine. It's great, I loved it. Little bit sweary in places, but down to earth

Well I've just put it in my amazon basket and stored it for a rainy day.

Just noticed this after the bump, yep it's a great book. His elderflower champagne method has a slight mistake in it - saying take 8l of water, boil half of it - then neglects to say add the rest of it. Might be the wording, but it made me do a double take!
