Can anyone suggest a magazine subscription that I could give as a gift to my father who is going to try to become an amateur wine maker. Thanks.

Two wine industry trade magazines in the USA that might be of interest include "Wines & Vines" 800-406-5283 and "Vineyard & Winery Management"
707-836-6820. Where "Wines & Vines" is more general, "Vineyard & Winery Mgt." is more academic IMHO. J.Harris
I don't know about magazines, but you should direct him to the rec.crafts.winemaking newsgroup. There are a lot of very knowledgeable regulars there - some of them professionals. It's about as friendly as this NG (which by Usenet standards is quite good).

WineMaker magazine should be just what you're looking for. Here's their website:
I've never been very impressed with WineMaker magazine, IMHO, there are a lot of articles that just miss the mark.
"Vineyard & Winery Management" I find very good, but it may be a little too technical for a beginner.
I would suggest a book on home wine making.
I'll echo Tom's comments about R.C.W. Great group of people at all levels of wine making.

Jon Iverson's book is a pretty good place to start.
