Home Winemaking Supplies

When I was a little girl, my parents used to make wine in our basement. They had a gigantic glass bottle with a stopper that they used during the fermentation process.

When it was ready, they would fill up about 12 empty bottles with this deep-colored grape concoction and store them in a wine rack over our bar. As a young teenager, I remember occasionally "sampling" their homemade wine. Although I was no expert, I thought it was pretty tasty!

For some people, making wine at home is nothing more than a hobby, but for others it is a way of saving serious dough. When you compare the cost of home winemaking supplies with the cost of store bought wines, you will agree that in the long run, making wine at home is fun and cost effective.

	How To Make Wine When I was looking for a winemaking resource, I stumbled across Mike Carraway's ebook entitled The Complete Illustrated Guide to Homemade Wine. What really caught my eye was this comment: "Everyone, if they knew how, would rather make excellent wine themselves for 49 cents a bottle rather than pay $15/bottle." I started looking around his website and I was hooked. Along with the ebook, he is giving away FOR FREE all sorts of books and videos filled with his 20 years experience! Read More Here.
