Complete Illustrated Guide to Homemade Wine

By far the easiest-to-follow guide we came across - our own experience says you should set aside maybe 2 or 3 hours to get fully setup.

This is the only guide that assumes absolutely no knowledge of winemaking. Impressively, our email question was responded to in under an hour (although it could take a little longer on weekends), and there is an unconditional 8 week guarantee.

Best of all, the equipment required is readily available and cheap - we were able to get access to all the things needed for well under $50(this guide even shows you how to get FREE fruit and grapes). Given that its proven to decrease your cost of wine by almost 90%, you could well recoup your investment in under a week.

Making homemade wine works with any type of fruit, grapes, flowers, or even vegatables. Aimed squarely at wine "novices", and still our top pick.

October 2008 Update : there is now a promotion running on the site, and it is temporarily available for $37 instead of $97 - AND, you get access to a big online library packed full of videos and other more advanced winemaking information - as such, we recommend ordering sooner rather than later.

The Verdict: Fast and easy setup; works for complete wine novices(but excellent for advanced winemakers, too); proven cost savings of up to 90% - our top pick
