Quickie Table Wines

by Ben Bennetts

0,99€ + 10% CARD

 In 1977, I published a small 16-page booklet titled "Quickie Table Wines". It was a simple "do this, do that" set of instructions designed to produce palatable fruit-based table wines within 4 to 5 weeks. The technique had been well researched and proven by experiment and the booklet went on to become a UK best seller, selling just under 12,000 copies before publication ceased sometime around the mid-'80s. Friends and family still talk about the booklet and their winemaking experiences and so I have decided to re-publish as an e-book. The prices in the booklet are 1977 prices but the technique is ageless. Enjoy.

Pause for lunch in Virginia to honor Thomas Jefferson, then it's time to jet back to London to tally our wines and see what we have learned.Why these particular places? What are the eighty wines and what do they reveal? And what is the surprise plot twist that guarantees a happy ending for every wine lover?

Rebula grapes, an ancient varietal once prized by princes and popes, are indigenous to the region that now straddles the border between Italy and Slovenia. On the Italian side the area is called Collio, in Slovenia Goriska Brda.
