Keeerist almighty, but there are some pedantic people out there!!

It is home brew wine, made in much the same way as home brew beer.

Home brew as we *Aussies* know it.

2lt of warm water, stir in some bentonite, add the contents of a 7lt bag
of grape juice concentrate, wash the bag out and fill the container to
23lts.
When the temp is between 18-24c, sprinkle the yeast over the top, don't
stir, cover and wait for about 7 days for fermentation to cease. Then
you proceed with secondary fermentation.

That's home "brewing".
