My grandfather used to grow his own grapes in oregon and make his own wine. Delicious, but he was Japanese, so he liked to ruin it by putting sugar in it. We had to get it before that point.



Wine for FREE??? excuse me, I think we have a communication breakdown here. I did not say I was a PROFESSIONAL connoisseur. ah, if only! Oh yes, it is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get decent wine at a bar here in Panama City. Sometimes I am forced to drink Jaeger... That is awesome that your grandfather had his own vineyard! We do grow grapes here but don't have the time or inclination to try to make our own wine. I've heard it is quite difficult and I have not been impressed by the home brews I have sampled. surely would not want it with added sugar.

Oh i see, private connoisseur. I thought the word implied pro. I think the only difference is finding a magazine that thinks you are good.
Understood no desire to make wine, but it's not very difficult. Making beer from grain is harder, and I've done that. But you do have to have a lot of grapes, I mean gallons of juice. You basically just take a jug of juice, add a little yeast, put a vapor lock on it, and let it sit where the temperature is good and it's dark. You try different wine yeasts in different jugs, and wine makes itself! The home brews you didn't like most likely had to do with the kind of grape, type of yeast, and how long it was fermented. You have to look up the wine you like and find out those factors.

No, it does not (imply pro). When I said "difficult" I meant "difficult to make it come out tasting like good wine." One of my fellow connoisseurs, a "pro," in fact the person who taught me everything I know about wine and who has worked for high-end wine companies, got a home wine-making kit and put a lot of time and energy into the appropriate research and followed the instructions explicitly, and the results were underwhelming. I mean, it was drinkable; it wasn't wrectched or repulsive, but... She eventually gave up on it. I figured if anybody would be able to do it, she was the one! So when her efforts were unsuccessful I decided not to even bother.

I don't think fine wine is drunk to become intoxicated, but I could be wrong.

You would have to kind of work at it. Wine is intended to be sipped slowly. To become intoxicated I would go for Jaeger or rum or something.
