Make And Drink Your Own Wine, It's Easy!

Making your own wine is a hobby that is growing quickly. There's a variety of reasons for this.

one is that for the few past years, there has been a number of books published on home wine making, and a number of "How to" manuals providing the information needed to get started.

One other reason is that making your own wine can be a lot less expensive than purchasing wine in the store.You can make wine for pennies per bottle. Big difference from the ever increasing prices of commercial wine.

And then there is the most important reason of all. Making your own wine is really gratifying and plain old fun. Sipping your perfectly fermented fruit or grape wine that you prepared and nursed, and followed from cleaning the fruit to racking, bottling and now drinking is just nourishment for the soul.

Giving your own wine as a gift is a one of a kind gift, inviting your friends and family to taste the great wine you have made is just something that feels very special.

Getting started making wine can be very easy. You do not need expensive equipment and fancy gadgets. What you do need is a fermentation vessel. This can be a five gallon bucket. Then you will need an air lock, which you can purchase inexpensively or make yourself and a few other smaller items.

There are basically three levels of home wine making.

1. Using a purchased wine kit. Just add water and follow the instructions.

2.Making wine from fruit juices.

3. Making wine from fruit and berries.

Once you make your first batch of wine there is no going back. The satisfaction of sipping your own home made wine is simply delicious.
