Homemade wine

they sell it, i dont know where you can get it but my dad knows an importer so he gets crates of it here. They actually had a little paragraph about it in the new york times as i remember http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpag...52C1A9629C8B63 there it is. but they only list places you can get it in new york.

i was wondering if any of you guys had any experience with making wine and if you had any tips.
My friend just got me into it and im waiting for my first batch, pretty simple some cranberry rasberry juice with water suger and yeast laying in a dark corner the top covered with a punctured balloon. anyway post up

Why did you add water sugar in it?Fruits contain pretty good amount of glucose (sugar CH2O) wich is enough to make high quality wine and it also high in alcohol content. The main puropse of adding sugar is to boost the process of yeasting. In case to make high quality wine you need to be patient and rely on natural process.Don't add anything and don't boost the process.That's the rule number one.

As for pomegranate wine,Man it's magic.It's pure cure for anemia.

haha, thats old school right there, you should have tried it.

Yup, he even crushed the grapes with his feet.

[!EEK]

It's not a name..it's just how they retrieve the juice from the grapes, they crush it with their feet.

Excuse my french. My english may be confusing...

I'm not too much of a wine fan, but I wouldn't mind trying it, it would be fun you know.
