If you decide you want to make homemade wine as a hobby, you will need a good wine making guide. There are many guides out there that are cheap, but sometimes you get what you pay for.
With some wine making guides, you may be well into your first batch only to find that you have a question that is not answered in the guide. Some are vague and don't really make clear what they are trying to say.
For example, can you use tap water when making homemade wine? What happens if the fermentation process stops? There are many questions that new winemakers have, and you need the answers while you are making the wine - not a few days later.
The best wine making guide that I have yet to come across can be found at All Winemaking. They leave nothing to question, and you can be sure that your first batch of wine will turn out beautifully.

Supplies for Making Wine at Home
Excited about trying your hand at wine making? There are a few supplies you will need to get started. These are just basic things, when you get to be a "professional" wine maker you may want to upscale a bit!
1 Gallon size plastic container
Straining cloth or cheesecloth
Ceramic or stainless steel containers for wine storage
Fruit masher (You can actually crush the fruit yourself, but it is time consuming)
Other than that, when you find good wine recipes they will usually state exactly what you are going to need.
Wine making supplies are not costly, and once you have the supplies that's all you will need. The money you save making your own homemade wine will be more than enough to cover the costs of your supplies.
Of course, during the whole process you will learn all about fermentation, aging, bottling, etc. This is such a fun hobby - I hope you enjoy it!

Some of the fruits that are wonderful for making wine are peaches and strawberries. The hardest part is waiting for 40 days! I hope you enjoyed this small post on how to make fruit wine.
