The best thing is to start by finding a place that sells wine equipment and concentrated kits (grape concentrates from your favorite type of wine) near where you live coz you will need those (I used to work in such a shop) in order to produce a wine of a good quality. Here is a few tips. (1) Don’t try to hurry the fermenting process by any ways and don’t shortcut any required steps. Follow the instructions. (2) Be sure to filter your wine even if it looks clear otherwise you will get crap you do not want that alter the taste. (3) Take the time to label and date your bottles of wine properly since you need to let it age properly.

Get grapes. What type of wine you want to make will determine the type of grape (merlot, cabernet etc). Take those grapes and shred them up. My father had a machine that was basically a belt-driven drum with spikes kind of like what landscapers use to shred trees but mini. Let this mash sit in a garbage can [a new one :-)] for about a week. It will start to ferment, you can tell because it will start to bubble. During this stage especially, make sure that no strong odors are present because the grapes will absorb it. If you do it in your garage don't park the cars in there for a while and keep the garbage outside. Garlic, onions and other odorous foods will also affect the wine. Now that the wine has fermented some, it's time to press it. No, not with your feet. The device is essentially a large screw inside a barrel with every other slat removed and is on top of a funnel of sorts. Pile in the shredded grapes, put a flat board on top and start turning the screw. Turn until you can't anymore, unscrew it, loosen up the pressed grapes because there is still juice in there and repeat the process until the grapes are dry. Store the juice in a container (garbage can still works fine) in a cool, dark place like your basement or, depending on where you live, your garage. It will continue to ferment and after 2-4 weeks it should be ready to bottle. Use a siphon to bottle it and make sure to keep the hose end off of the bottle of the can to prevent bottling the sediment. And that's pretty much it.

The hardest part of making any wine, is preparing the sugar water which is the aid in the fermenting process.

I used to make dandelion wine. VERY GOOD. until I lost the sugar water receipe.
