Vines and Wines from a Small Garden: From Planting to Bottling

Rating:
Summary: Very practical.
Review: I read this book in Dutch. It gives advice on what sorts of vines are easy to grow and are resistant to diseases. What I particularly liked is that this book gives advice on the different possible ways of pruning the plant; like how to prune when growing a vine in a pot on your balcony!

Summary: Better books available
Review: I was quite disappointed when I got the book amd read it. The book focuses mainly on growing grapes in England, and some of the information in the book is not all that accurate. For example, when the author talks about pruning, he only mentions spur pruning. There are grape varieties out there whose basal buds are not fruitful where cane pruning is required.
The only satisfaction that I got from the book was that someone was successfully growing grapes and making wine in less space and in a less favorable climate than I am.
