My hobby: Home Winemaking / book
This guide is dedicated to amateur winemakers operating on a micro scale. With them in mind, it discusses the most important winemaking raw materials, the successive stages of vinification, and the principles of caring for wine during its maturation.
Wine provides those special sensations and emotions that either ignite or soothe the senses, awaken the imagination, and encourage existential reflection. Wine connects generations, makes it easier to establish contacts, and deepen social relationships. Thanks to the possibility of using new grapevine varieties adapted to more demanding growing conditions, in various regions - including those with a cooler climate - beautiful vineyards are being created, as well as charming little vineyard plots established in home gardens. In orchards, in accordance with the eternal rhythm of the seasons, fruits ripen, tempting with their abundance - also perfect as material for wine.
Let us use the recipes provided in the book and create interesting, fine beverages, so that we can enjoy the extraordinary experiences delivered by tasting wine or mead from our own home cellar.
