Making your own wine is a hobby that has grown a lot the past few years.There are some good 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.

Another reason is that it can be a real cost savings. Everything is getting more expensive these days, and so is wine. Many of our wines are imported, and with the rising fuel costs our favorite wines can become painfully expensive.

But my favorite reason is that it is just plain fun to make your own wine. There is something so gratifying to choose the fruit, choose the recipe and the type of yeast, prepare the must, nurse it, follow the fermentation... all the steps until you can uncork your own proudly made delicious and unique wine.

Home made wine can be a wonderful and one of a kind gift, of course in a beautiful bottle and with your own label. Having friends and family over for wine tastings of various wines you have made is another fun aspect of home wine making.

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.

Basically, there are three levels of making your own wine.

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

2. Making wine from fresh or frozen fruit juices bought in your local store.

3. Using fresh fruits and berries to make your wine.

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.
