How to Make Your Own Wine

We've often thought of making our own wine, but we're a bit scared- we've dabbled in making beer at home but it seems to us wine is a whole other beast. We just found an article about how easy - and inexpensive - making wine at home can be, which almost has us convinced to pick up a kit at Amazonand give it a whirl.

Linda and Dave Quaine of Marysville have been making wine for about three years. They prefer to do the process at Vinomondo Winery on the corner of Lakeshore and Keewahdin roads in Fort Gratiot.

With wine becoming more popular, the Quaines are part of a growing trend. According to statistics from The Wine Institute in San Francisco, wine consumption in the United States has grown from 464 million gallons in 1995 to 703 million gallons in 2005. Many of those wine enthusiasts are, like the Quaines, making their own.
