Yes. It's not only perfectly safe, but it's a great hobby. I've got a six gallon batch of Zinfandel going right now. For more information, check out winemakermag.com, winepress.us, and your local homebrew/winemaking store.
If you take proper care, sanitize EVERYTHING that's gonna touch your wine (with a winemaking sanitizer, NOT BLEACH!), use sulfites to help prevent spoilage, and use good quality fruit, or a kit, then you can make excellent quality, safe wine, much cheaper than commercial wine.

Well I know an old man who worked at a winery and he made some red wine. But he worked at a winery so he knew how to make it. He had given me a bottle but he had told me to not shake the bottle because then you were not going to get out of the bathroom. But I don't think that it would be bad to make because its just grapes and yeast.

I've made wine before, and so have a few of my friends. It's safe as long as you do it the right way

yes it is safe to prepare, if you use sterilising tablets on the kit or boil etc. Try to get a good yeast, not brewers, thats for bread. My granny made an elderberry wine that would blow your socks off
