     I'm not really "using" it; I've never made wine.  I bought it
because it looked interesting, and has recipes for wine made from just
about every conceivable edible.  (Though I don't believe there's one for
cattails....)  More for reading than using.  So I'm afraid I can't really
review it.  The only other specific vinting/brewing book I have is Roger
Morse's book on mead, which I also have never used.  Sorry I can't be
more helpful!
