Another reason is that it can be a real cost savings. Everything is getting more expensive these days, and so is wine. Many of our wines are imported, and with the rising fuel costs our favorite wines can become painfully expensive.

Sipping your perfectly fermented fruit or grape wine that you prepared and nursed, and followed from cleaning the fruit to racking, bottling and now drinking is just nourishment for the soul.
