So here is you shopping list:

2 litres of red (or purple) grape juice. Make sure it is pure. We hate additives!

1 small (500ml) bottle of strawberry sauce (You know, the type you squirt over your ice-cream)

Hi everyone, i have to tell you that i am the absolute expert in making cheap wine. I live in England and the price of a bottle of cheap wine is extortionate over here, so if you live in a country like this you need to take careful note of what i am going to tell you.

You can read many articles that tell you that you need this and that and all the general paraphanalia that wine-making stores tell you are essential for the job, but from years of experience, i know otherwise. Follow my simple guide and you will have success. Read the full post
