 How to Make Wild Wines and Meads: Winemaking without Grapes
Craft Delicious Wines from Fruit, Berries, Vegetables, Herbs & Nuts Using Traditional and Wild Fermentation Techniques

"No grapes? No problem. Make wine with what you have!"

Think you need a vineyard to make wine at home?
Think again.

How to Make Wild Wines and Meads is your ultimate beginner-friendly guide to crafting extraordinary wines and meads from unexpected, non-grape ingredients—right in your kitchen. Whether it’s your backyard’s blackberries, a bag of rhubarb, or the honey you found at the farmers market, this book will show you how to turn nature’s bounty into unforgettable homemade wines and honey-based meads.

"Discover the ancient art of winemaking—without a vineyard."

From a Childhood Story to a Homemade Wine Revolution
This book started with a story—my grandfather’s tale of the Meade of Poetry. That moment sparked a lifelong fascination with the tradition of old-world mead and fruit wines. Today, I’m here to pass that spark on to you. Whether you’re an aspiring homebrewer, a kitchen experimenter, or simply curious about fermentation, this book will teach you how to bottle your creativity.

"From your kitchen to your glass—craft wine your way."
