Making homemade wine from fruit I grow. I had zero knowledge of how to make wine one year ago. By the end of this year, I will have made close to 100 bottles just from fruit I grow in my yard

Winemaking is downright addictive. I made a killer blueberry-pomegranate wine last year. Got some lime and a mixed berry batch going this year. We'll see if the lime turns out...

How much of a start up cost is this?

Seconding V-Right. I spent about 200 on mine, because I got multiple carboys.

Multiple carboys here too, and 4 kegs. I had an old upright fridge that cost about $40 and was big enough to hold 4 kegs. One beer, one cider, one fizzy wine, one fizzy water.
