I've made several of the wines in this book and they've all (nearly all) come out very well.
The biggest surprise was the broad bean wine, which I just couldn't imagine being nice. However, a glut of broad beans tempted me and I'm so glad it did - it was fantastic!
Great book, and easily the best for a beginner.

I've made the sloe wine from this book and it was absolutely gorgeous. Brilliantly clear, delicious flavour. I found the recipe very easy to follow, and the book is very readable too. So it's a big thumbs up from me!
