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!
