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.
