re: Anyone here make their own wine?

I've made several different types but can never get close to good store bought dry red. I've done a bunch of different stuff, most comes out great.

One of the favorites is a German apfelwein(sp?) It's apple cider, sugar, yeast. Not a lot to it.

Few buddies and I go fishing once a year to his parents on mobile bay. His uncle apparently loved to make wine. Muscadine, strawberry, blueberry, peach, blackberry, you name it. Their guest house is home to all his wine they inherited. Literally thousands of bottles of wine.

I leave that weekend so hungover I question life.
