I just recently started both winemaking and homebrewing on a very small scale--still working in 1 gallon batches. I went through all the books and mags at the local bookstores and "The Joy of Home Winemaking" by Terry Garey is by far my favorite. All the detail you need but not overly technical. She starts you with the basic Welch's-&-water in a jug and walks you through as complex as you'd like to go. Lots and lots of recipes. She's really big on fruit wines, so if you're interested in some different flavors she has a lot to offer. For homebrewing I have Dave Miller's Homebrewing Guide. It's more technical than Garey's book but still very practical and very readable. Both are by my bedside--nothing like reading about home brewing or winemaking while enjoying a beverage you made yourself.
