Wine from fruit juice

[Marty F]

Hi
I have seen a few recipes on here for making fruit juice wines. I am new to brewing and have now progressed to all grain beer brewing. As you know home brewing is very addictive and therefore I want to try making wine now. I get the recipes, but I am not sure of the process. I assume that you just mix it all in together with the yeast and other ingredients; assuming that it is at the correct temperature then it will ferment. I have been looking in my local Tesco for red grape juice, but they don’t seem to have it, I’ll have a look elsewhere, Sainsbury’s for instance.
Perhaps somebody could reply with a suitable recipe that includes an idiots guide to wine making?

Look at the WOW thread. It has recipes, videos and lots of tips. You can make wine with so many supermarket juices, it does not have to be grape juice.

Thanks for your replies, it all seems fairly straight forward. I’ll let you all know how I get on with it, I’ll need a week or two before I can get on with it.
