I am a novice but would still would like to understand the processes . the outline is clear but there is no mention of the why's.

too simplified for me

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
I tuned out by the time it got to the wine making part because it was so poorly written.

Very Unfocused

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The book spends more time talking about wine tasting than it does about wine making. Then it gives only a perfunctory walk through of the wine making process itself. I know this book is for novices, but it fails to progress past that — there is little reason more time couldn’t be spent giving depth beyond what is here. For example, they don’t even talk about making white wines.

Mostly not about wine making

What would have made Wine Making for the Total Novice better?

i am a home winemaker so i was hoping some a fair amount of detail. this was not the case:simplistic. I suppose if you ere making wine from welch's it might be helpful.
