Answers:
you will get nasty vinegar!.

Learn before you experiment, Many web sites around to help!.

First you need a clean environment and sterile equipment (to kill the bacterea and wild yeast so that your added yeast will grow)
Second you need wine grapes at the proper ripeness and added sugar by a formula (you have to buy a hygrometer)

Third you need chemicals to sterilize, a vessel to vint the wine, an air lock to let co2 out and no air in, and yeast!.
(Fermentation is a scientific process)
Fourth you need to crush the grapes not blender them!. Cutting the seeds will make a bitter wine!. Buy a small press or do it with clean hands!.
Then you can make wine by the instructions you find on the web!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No you need one more key ingredient!. To make the alcohol you need a fermenting yeast!. You should also ferment the wine in a fermentor not just a plastic bottle because as the yeast converts the sugar into alcohol it will release carbon dioxide and the pressure in the bottle will build up until the lid pops and spills your wine in progress all over the place!. After it has fermented and the alcohol has been produced (about a week or 2) you then should leave the wine to age (preferably in oak casks) before you put it in bottles, leave it to age up to a year!.

Sorry, no!.

You already missed a couple steps!. You need to sanitize (ie, bleach + water) the jar you put the grape juice in!. It should be glass, not plastic!.

You also forgot the yeast!. Baker's yeast won't work very well, you'd end up with a weak, sweet wine!. Winemaker's yeast works best -- you'll get a normal strength, dry wine!.

Go look up home wine making!. It is legal to do in the US, up to 100 gal per year!. They have some starter kits, and more importantly, you can buy boxed concentrate!. It is enough to produce about 6 gallons of wine (30 bottles, 750mL each)!. They generally cost around $75-$100, for the concentrate!. You have about another $100 for the equipment, plus the cost of bottles (you could use old bottles if they are cleaned and sanitized first; you would still need to sanitize new bottles), and corks!.

BTW, that green stuff connecting grapes is called the vine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
