New York Home Wine Committee

It's all about home winemaking. We do it. We promote it. We encourage it. How? The committee sponsors an annual home winemaking seminar, where we draw on the knowledge and experiences of home winemakers, professional winemakers from the Finger Lakes, winery consultants, and the personnel of the Cornell Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva, NY, as speakers. While you are here do take a look at the "How to Make Wine" page. It has all of the handouts that are available at the seminar. Likewise, the "Links" page will give you more winemaking resources. It is our hope that you can use this site to help you make better wine at home.

The American Wine Society is a non-profit educational organization dedicated to educating its members and the general public on all aspects of wine, -wine appreciation, grape growing, and wine making. It was founded in the Finger Lakes of New York State in 1967 and now has members all over the world. A two and a half day conference each year provides educational seminars on all wine subjects including food and wine. Yearly an Amateur Wine Competition is conducted by the American Wine Society.
