Are you someone who has always wanted to make your own wines but do not own a winery? Well do not fear because you still can achieve this goal with a home wine making kit. Yes that is right! And no you do not need to grow your own grapes to successfully make a great red or white.

Let me tell you how it is done.

First you buy your kit. It is cheaper to do it this way instead of buying everything separately. Everything that you will need will be there for you to start off your new hobby. These will include the all important fermentation device, an auto-siphoning system, hydrometer, glass carboy with stopper, automatic bottle filler, corks, corker and an agitating spoon. Now do not panic too much about all this new equipment and what you need to do with it because you will also be given the all important instructions for making your favorite beverage.

There will however be a couple of extra things that you will need to purchase such as your bottles to hold your beverage in. Plus the all important labels! Of course they are not a necessity but it is nice to have them on the finished product. Many people even get their own ones printed up with their names and logos on them. But this is something for the individual to decide.

You can pick one of these kits up for around $150 but of course there are a few to choose from so the prices can vary. Now that you have your making home wine equipment, what next? Well you will need your ingredients such as your grapes. Your instructions will have recipes regarding this. You will have the choice of using grape juices or fresh grapes.

Now does this all sound easy? Well it is. Before you know it you will be surprising your family and friends with your new hobby. The bottles that you will have made will be great for gifts too, especially with your own label!

Of course these kits are for the beginner and as you get more accustomed to making this type of beverage you will be able to step it up a little bit by getting a little more complicated. Next you may want to purchase a fruit crusher. There are several to choose from, ranging from a couple of hundred dollars to a couple of thousand. These can be used to crush most fruits and not just grapes. Or maybe you will prefer a bladder press as this will end with the same result but in a gentler way.

The more you become involved the more you will learn and the more you will succeed in making the very best reds and whites. Maybe you will end up trying something a bit more adventurous like liqueur making. Who knows? The important thing is to start out slow by using a home wine making kit and then with confidence and experience you can move on.
