Practical Treatise on the Cultivation of the Grape Vine Book

This useful tome needs to be updated. Chapters on flavor profile and ingredients are informative and interesting, while those on brewing equipment/methods and conditioning/packaging/dispensing get bogged down in details that are better suited to a more general treatise on brewing. Chapters on style history, commercially produced examples, and recipes would benefit from a major overhaul; much of the material is outdated, being irrelevant at best and misleading at worst. These deficiencies are offset somewhat by vintage photographs and a thorough glossary. Despite its flaws, this was an enjoyable read that makes me want to brew a dark mild and visit England, though probably not at the same time.
