And do i need to label it as dry wine , white wine etc .. or can i just make a tasty wine an label it ? Also what are some DOs and DON'Ts when making wine

Heres a list of fruit wines i would like to make :
Apple
Banana
Watermelon
Mango
Pineapple
Kiwi
Peach
Grapes
Strawberry

I have a basic knowledge of the fermentation process but i would greatly appreciate some more assistance with it . Thanks alot for any help.
 
Generally, when one says "white wine" or "red wine," one is exclusively speaking of making wine from grapes. Wine made from other fruits can be referred to as "fruit wine" or "country wine" or, e.g., "peach wine."

"Dry wine" means that there is very little sugar left in the wine after fermentation (called "residual sugar"). An "off-dry" wine has some residual sugar, and a "sweet wine" has more.

You do not need to worry about what you label it.

Here are some resources to peruse to get you started:
