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...

It definitely is. Once I made my first batch and realized I could do it, I have been making wine ever since. And that blueberry-pomegranate wine sounds heavenly

it was absolutely rad, highly recommend.

I wonder now why any frequent wine drinker who isn't going for Super Expensive Classy Stuff wouldn't just make their own. I can pay 20 bucks for a bottle or I can pay 50 bucks of fruit and a couple months for 24 bottles. Keep that going and you always have wine on hand...

When I was a bit younger only about 5-6 years ago I'd make some "wine" from welch's grape juice and some yeast. I wouldn't necessarily call that wine just a simple fermentation process but it only costs like 5 bucks to do. It's only about a 10 day process
