Answer by igetallsoapy
I actually made wine for the first time this past summer. I had a ton of grapes in my back yard so i picked them all and mashed them. i put two packages of dry yeast, 5 pounds of sugar, and 3 gallons of water. i mixed it all together in a giant bucket and covered it and let it sit for over a month. There are also tons of easy recipes online. You should research it really well first before you go out and buy anything. The problem I had was that I didn’t know you needed certain chemicals to stop the fermentation process. My first batch of wine was good for a few weeks then got real yeasty tasting, my second batch was explosive. the corks kept poping out and hitting my ceiling. so research well first.

Wine is spoiled juice. All else follows.
Wine is made by adding yeast to fruit juice. The yeast goes to work on the sugar in the juice, or as once said, “Yeast eats sugar, pees alcohol, and farts carbon dioxide until it dies of alcohol poisoning.” After the yeast finishes its work, the wine is “racked” into bottles, corked, and aged.
The flavor you get depends on the type of fruit, the type of yeast, additives, aging, and any other number of factors.
