Wine and grapes go together like, well wine and grapes, but its just as easy to make wine from almost any fruit and in fact might be an easier task for the basics wine home producer than trying to fine good “wine making” grapes. Any fruit will do so if you like mangoes, watermelon of even if apples are your favorite you can customize your home wine making to suit your favorite taste in fruit.

You need overripe fruit so if you don’t have any particular flavor you fancy just look for an almost too ripe sale at the local super market, Take advantage of the lower too ripe price as you will need a lot of the fruit compared to what you would normally buy to eat in a week. Why pay a premium for fresh fruit if you’re going to take it home and let it get over-ripened anyway!

Three or four pounds of whatever you choose will usually be the minimum amount needed. The more fruit used, the more robust in flavor the wine will be. An example would be that burgundy contains more fruit than a blush wine, and Sangria, my favorite, contains a multitude of different fruits and lots of them. Break out the contents of that basics wine making kit your kids got you for fathers day and get started.
