Sufficient and informative.

As an aspiring winemaker, knowing very little on the details, I enjoyed this. It's a good index for equipment, yeast, Brix scale, temperatures, etc.
It was very helpful in my first at home winemaking experience. I wouldn't recommend this for veteran winemakers because the information and recipes are fairly basic.
I'll be revisiting this book during several stages of the winemaking process.

Unlike other books that specialize in dealing with the main varietals, this book addresses a wide range of grapes and other fruits to be made into wine. If this type of winemaking appeals to you, than this would be a decent book to explore.
