Just had a glass of the homemade wine I started just after new years. It was made out of Wal-Mart 100% grape juice +sugar. I let it do its thing in a 1 gallon carboy, even letting it clear by itself before racking it off of the lees. I have tasted it along the way and it was okay I told myself, but this evening I poured a glass and its pretty dang good. Seems like those three P's are kicking in. Now if I can let it age some more. I better start another larger batch.
Holy Cow not half bad!

Congrats...it's a good feeling to taste your first wine and realize it's pretty darn good.
Yes it does feel good, SWEET! I cant change my name from okwine because I cannot deny my Sooner heritage, LOL! Man I didnt check the beginning specifice gravity but it seems like this has some kick. I added four cups of sugar to the gallon of juice.
