Hi Jim,

The best place to start will be to invest in a wine kit. If you
don't have a local store to buy from, then Googly up the term "winemaking
supplies" and find a source near you. The kit will have all of the
ingredients you need. If you follow the instructions on the kit
religiously for the first couple of batches, and observe what the kit does
regarding the instructions, that will be the best lesson you can buy.
If on the other hand you want to go at it from scratch... well,
have at it, but don't be surprised if you spend a lot of time and energy
on making weed killers.



Jim, I absolutely agree with Casey. Find a homebrew supply shop, buy a
mid-priced kit and the minimum equipment to go with it, and *follow the
instructions*..Exactly.

This should give you a decent, drinkable plonk and get you into the basic
principles. After you've made a couple of these, branch out into trying a
diy fruit wine from something freely available, so it doesn't matter if it
goes wrong.

And.... oh, yes .... the Most Important Thing is cleanliness /
sterilisation.

Good luck and have fun!
