Tips to make wine
With a final cut at the pro-analog camp, I can’t undertand the continual absolute adherence to the credo that LP etc. is somehow closer to an absolute truth. Why not admit that the device with its astounding array of weird and wonderful resonances, compressions, plastic deformation effects and inhernet defects is nothing more than a [...]
Home wine making instructions
A 5 USD bottle is by no means a bad drop now, (at least over here.) Maybe we could suggest (stepping out on a limb here) that many by the book HiFi products yield essentially staid and predicable results. Speakers would be a good example. (Dick may grind his teeth here, however I suspect he [...]
Wine Making Stuff
I am not the expert, but my partner, the chemist and home brewer and vinter is – but avoids being on line. So you get his comments through my relay – He says you should get a minimum of Hydrometer, which you use to check the sweetness (?) and ammount of alcohol in what you [...]
4,000 years of wine making
CYPRUS is an island of incomparable ancient sites and a wealth of romantic legends. It also occupies a unique place in the history of wines and the development of the wine trade. In fact our wine traditions go back over 4,000 years,virtually to the dawn of civilisation. One of our wines -Commandaria -is acknowledged to [...]
Easy wine making
To make a Chateau Lafite clone, a good start would be to start with the same grapes as Chateau Lafite. I would bet that many of our master makers could make a wine that would pass for a Chateau Lafite vintage at the most rigourous tasting. It may not taste exactly like any one actual [...]
Fruit wine making
In audio, by contrast, many tests are conducted to determine whether the subject can hear the DIFFERENCE between two components. When they can’t reliably determine the difference between say, two cables, this is considered proof that there’s no difference between cables. What would happen if wine tasting were conducted this way? Yup, no difference between [...]
Numerous methods of wine making
This text covers the actual procedures of making wine to varying degrees, as well as various approaches, techniques, and philosophies about winemaking. These are sometimes going to contradict each other — remember, different people wrote various sections. While the editor has made an effort to bring the whole thing together, these contradictions were left in [...]
Home winemaking and campden tablets
We have just decided to have a go at making some homemade wine for the first time. All the recipes we have found include the instructions ‘add X campden tablets’ and I dimly remember the same from when my mother made the stuff 20+ years ago. The problem is, where do you obtain these magical [...]
Aspect of wine-making
I want to address the issue here of reproducibility in wine-making, because strict adherence to the concept has lead to dull, cookie-cutter wines. If you examine the big wine-making houses, be they in Napa, Burgundy or Maipo, you’ll see the application of consistent technical standards from house to house. And consistent similarity in the character [...]
Wine making methods
The Wilsons aspire to an ultimate reference, with an aesthetic polish where they inevitably fall short. There are many beautiful sounding speakers that many vastly prefer. Wilson and many others (Gabe for instance) would not disagree at the beauty and musicalness of their sound. A wonderful balance of aesthetic use of second-order (and occasionally deliberate [...]
Beer and wine making
I am thinking about starting to make my own beer and wine. I am hoping readers of this newsgroup will comment on their experience in this sort of endeavor. Opinions regarding the various “we help you brew/make wine” places in town would also be appreciated. I just tried a very simple do-it-yourself red wine kit: [...]
