I usually do this and know only this one in wine making...

Jug Wine

Ingredients:
2 cans frozen 100% grape juice
1 gallon distilled water
3 ½ cups sugar
1 package yeast
1 glass gallon jug
1 punching balloon


Directions:

Thaw grape juice and put in sterilized glass jug.
Warm distilled water to 110 degrees Fahrenheit and dissolve sugar in water.
Add yeast and mix well.
Using a funnel pour water/sugar yeast mixture into jug until about 1 inch from top.
Rinse inside of balloon.
Stretch balloon over bottle and tape it securely.
Put in a warm dark place; be sure to give room for the balloon to expand. It will get quite large.
After 30 days (or longer if you like) remove balloon and carefully strain wine with cheesecloth into another jug.
Enjoy!!!!

My grandparents make their own wine, and since I bought them these guides, they have really taken off. I hope you will like them as well. Here are the links.

I make whites, reds, and mead at home as well as work at a small vineyard & winery.

I prefer to pick my own grapes rather than getting pre picked or pre juiced, so, I take a Saturday or Sunday during harvest, go up to "my" vineyard, and pick my own.

Remember to Sterilize, Sterilize, Stelilize!!!

Also, one thing that has really helped me, make friends at a local winery/vineyard. See if you can help with their harvest, bottlings, or any other part of the process. It will help you along the way with home wine making, along with give you an avenue to ask questions when you need help.

I have made this using my home grown fruits that I have juiced. I use 5 gallon jugs and extra large ballon and store them in a cool, easily cleanable space.

After the wine has worked most of the sugar out, I bottle and store for a season or so. It continues to age in the bottles. My family loved my cherry wine. It became like brandy because I used so much sugar in it!

I make my own wine, when I started I thought this is going to be so hard and taste disgusting and guess what it did! Then my husband bought me this book called delicious wine making made easy. Its great does exactly what it says on the cover. I found a link to it for you http://d344e054-ikvuolro0ncx0-y43.hop.clickbank.net/ Hope you enjoy.
