This reminds me of a sight gag on Trailer Park Boys when they were going to have a rap concert and draw people in with free booze. Cut to a short camera shot of them cranking open a tin can of “Jiffy Wine” and diluting it with a water hose in a 55-gallon drum.
I’m afraid really GOOD wine takes juuuuuuuuust a little more work than simple fermentation.
I’ve made my own wine. It was…ok. But my cousin actually owns a boutique winery, and has won a number of ribbons at the California State Fair and the like. Home-made wine doesn’t even come close to the nectar Bob produces.
If you drink plonk, make it yourself and save. If you drink good wine…
I’ve had good homemade wine. As good as $8-$10 commerical wines. Much better than boxed wine or Boone’s Farm. But I’ve never had one as good as a $20 bottle.
I enjoy a glass or two of good wine. I’ve posted a thread or three. We made white wine at school and it was passable. But my tip is to go to France and buy it: you get much better prices and much more variety than in the U.K.
