Can you get a white grape frozen concentrate in the grocery store? Welch's
Niagara Frozen White Grape Concentrate makes an exccellent wine. Other
brands will work as well. Just be sure it has no preservatives in it.
Frozen concentrates should not.

No experience here. Some one else may be able to help you but if you cannot
get something then make a different wine. I like to make wines from local
things first and then make the things that are exotic to my area. But that
is me.
