How do you make good home made wine?
Answers:
Good Wine is all about the Grapes / Juice used to make it.
since it is hard for me to get good grapes, I purchase the juice from a Homebrew Store.
I have made Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Sav, and Reisling.
It takes a couple of months to do but it tastes great and is much much much more economical.
What you Need:
Brew Kit ($60): Brew Bucket, Stirer, Racking Cane/Tube, Carboy ($15)(for secondary fermentation)
Wine bottles (save old ones)
Corker (Price varies)
The above are all reusable
Sanitizer (Cheap)
5-6 Gal of Spring Water (do not use tap water)
Wine Kit, you choose the juice type. (usually about $50-60) and makes 28-30 bottles of wine (Makes it for $2-$3 per bottle)
Corks
The kit will give you detailed instructions on what to do.
When I first did it I was unsure of how it would taste, but now it is all I drink.
If you need help there are pleanty of websites, but I recomend going to a local homebrew shop.
Try beer too it is awsome
Get good equipment and material.
