Brew Your Own Homemade Fruit Wine With The 3 Homemade Fruit Wine Making Books We Started With.

Homemade Fruit Wine

We fell in love with brewing wine years ago, not only because we simply loved creating new recipes and seeing the satisfied look on every ones face when they tried them, but also as a way to lower the cost of drinking wine. As I’m sure you know, drinking wine can be an expensive habit especially if you enjoy drinking it as much as we did.

Also we remember how difficult it was to begin brewing our own wine. We knew wine terminology, but we weren’t really hip to wine brewing terminology, or the supplies and ingredients needed to brew our own wine.

Homemade Wine

To prevent you from having the same issues that we’ve had, we decided to sit down and buy the top 10 wine brewing guides we were recommended. We’ve reviewed the top 3 and have our recommendations for you.

Our key criteria that had to be met for one of these guides to be used was ease-of-use, affordability of materials, and speed of setup.

Overall, we were pleasantly surprised with the results – the guides evidently do work, and if you pick the right guide, you could well be up and fermenting your own homemade wine in a few hours.

Only 3 Guides met the following criteria:

  • Sizeable Money Savings - make quality wine for $1/bottle or less
  • Fast and Easy Setup – in only a few hours, even for novices
  • Affordable Set-Up Cost – (well under $100)

Our Highest Recommendation: Complete Illustrated Guide to Homemade Wine

“Still the best Home Winemaking Guide in 2011…”

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 for 2009.

April 2009 Update : there is now a promotion running on the site, and it is temporarily available for $27 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

2. All Winemaking

Our second pick uses the same information as our top pick – and again, we were impressed by the fast support, money-back guarantee and low setup costs.

The guide includes six bonuses (one of which is lifetime access to the home winemakers newsletter and evena kit decapper, arguably worth the cost of the guide on their own).

All in all, its a great package which means you can be enjoying massive savings for very little, very quickly. So why only four stars?

Well, perhaps we were spoiled by our top pick, but we found the price a little higher – and since cost is so important, we decided to knock off a star.

3. Make Great Wine

The Guide to Home Brewing is our third and final pick, and it actually includes 3 separate courses to help you create your own Homemade wine, beer and other ales.

They report upto 95% savings over store-bought – and again, the guide was presented in a clear and easy-to-follow format.

The difference between this and the other two sites was simple, however – my support ticket was not responded to. A full, hands-on support system is vital if a relative “wine novice” is to set up the equipment, and here unfortunately it just wasn’t there.

Thanks so much for taking the time to read our reviews. We hope they helped.

  5. Does anyone know whats the difference please between fizzy wine & champagne – are they the same thing or not?

    Also can anyone suggest a nice make of champagne or fizzy wine that isn’t too expensive?

    It’s my cousins wedding soon and I’m responsible for organising the drinks for toasting the happy couple.

    Cheers,
