You might try a book on Home Winemaking by Terry Garey. Its a very basic
home wine-making book with beginner, intermediate, and advanced sections. I
learned a lot from that book. This book talk much about wine kits or making
wine from grapes as some of the other sites and books which others have
suggested. Good-luck and welcome.

Please bear with me if this subject is already addressed....I haven't seen
yet in the last week or so of scouring this newsgroup, but could somebody
tell me even more basically what is involved with starting to make wine.
I mean as simple as what the first steps are, what the terms mean, etc.
Most of what I'm reading here I don't understand...racking, airlock, 2nd
rack, 3rd rack, etc. I have visited Jack Keller's site and found it very
helpful but am having trouble matching up his information with actual
steps in the process especially the steps I'm seeing discussed here.
Could someone provide me with an overview or outline.

Thanks in advance,
