Home Wine Making Instructions Guides

A review of home wine making instructions guides by Paul Clark

Last Updated: Jan. 19, 2010
 


Home wine making
is proven to lower your cost, increase your wine enjoyment - and is rapidly becoming a popular hobby of millions. Top quality wines can easily be made with the correct instructions.   Free, online, home wine making instructions have been available for a long time but always leave something out - usually key steps you need.

Luckily, the last six months has seen a crop of Home winemaking guides, which show exactly how to make homemade wine yourself - using low cost materials, and with no technical knowledge required.

We decided to sit down and review these new guides - our key criteria were 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 on how to make homemade wine,  you could well be up and fermenting a homemade wine you can be proud of in a few hours.
 

We reviewed the most popular 11 home wine making instructions guides - only 3 met our 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)

"Still the best Home Winemaking Guide in 2010 three years in a row now..."

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 vegetables. Aimed squarely at wine "novices", and still our top pick for 2010.

Jan. 2010 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 even a 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. Brew Beer Bible

Even though this isn't wine making we included this because it is such a wonderful product if you want to learn how to brew your own beer. Includes 640 recipes. Contains tons and tons of graphics and step by step instructions guiding you from the very start to the very end so there is no way you won't make great beer with this.

The only reason this one gets the lowest rating of the three on this page is because the Brew Beer Bible is all about making beer and this page reviews wine making guides but if we were reviewing beer brewing guides this one would definitely get 5 stars all around from us.


Where from here? We recommend The Complete Illustrated Guide to Homemade Wine:
