Here it is. I am sure it can be improved upon.

I am currently aging a similiar wine but instead of all grapefruit, I am
using one can each of Welch's frozen white grape juice concentrate, one can
of frozen pineapple juice and one can of grapefruit juice per gallon. I
will list the rest of the details when it finishes.

My goal is to produce an inexpensive (Cheap) white wine that can be made in
large quantity which will allow me to be drinking a decent wine while my red
wines age.
