Home wine-making expert and CPC user Ian McFarlane has written a program in Basic to help others take a more scientific approach to their hobby and produce consistently good results. Called Vinsoft, the program contains essential data for 90 commonly used ingredients, and formulae for calculating alcohol yields based on latest research findings. Imperial to metric conversions are also built in. The main feature is an automatic recipe formulator based on a choice of 16 standard commercial equivalents, with the option to modify each specification for sweetness, acidity and strength. A recipe can be created from up to 90 different ingredients stored in the program. At any stage it will say how far away the recipe is from the selected style and, if requested, will automatically change the recipe to get the balance right. A hard copy of the finished recipe and original specification can be taken if a printer is attached to the CPC.
