What Is The Easiest Way To Make Home Made Wine?

I live in the country, but no one around here makes wine.  This is a great question.  I live in a very religious community, most here are Mormons.  I don't have anything against that.  The only way I have heard of wine is getting grapes, and smashing them down, I guess people step on them barefoot in wine making areas, and then make wine that way, and bottle it and keep it that way.  But I don't have any good recipes.  I am not much help, but good luck.

Yes you can make wine without all the equipment, however wine is difficult to control in a home. To get "good" wine, you need to control everything, temperature, acidity, sugar, sterility, consistency, tannins etc. It is easier to make other types of "wines", as wine is basically just any alcoholic beverage made from fruit. Due to the fact that most wines get a lot of there character from the wood that they are aged in, making grape wine at home leads to a so-so product. But wine can be made from peaches, nectarines, apples, pears...almost anything. You can even make wine using dandelions. If you really want to try your hand at home brewing/wine making, I suggest beer, if you don't like beer then I suggest trying Mead. Mead is easily made at home with minimal equipment and is oh so good. If you have never had it, it is worth finding some to try. If you don't know what it is, it is made from honey and is often referred to as "honey wine". The over all flavor is more palatable than wine and a lot of the floral flavors of the honey used come through in a good mead. As a kid, I left a pitcher of lemonade in the fridge for too long and it "turned"...both me and my dad found that we actually liked it. It probably was slightly alcoholic but not very, sort of like apple jack. (if you don't know what apple jack is...it is just unrefined/unpasteurized cider left to ferment for a few days) I suggest leaving wine to the pro's and brewing other stuff instead. It is even easier to make vodka than wine.
