Homemade wine taste

[Giovannino]

I got mine in quebec.

My mistake - I guess it's the brew-on-premises which are not allowed. Thanks

I was actually trying to find out why home wines are better and am surprised to find out other people are mostly drinking bad home wines.
this is my second year making wine. I pick my grapes from wine regions that make the best wine. Choose only grapes at ripe perfection (which have a brix above 24 and dont need sugar). Pick and crush them the same day fresh. Ferment it on the skins (until almost dry). It tastes pretty (better than most wines under $6 before aging). Press it and age it in oak barrels (oak barrels aging is important for fine wine) . I don't think your home wine will be better that store bought if you don't have access to an excellent wine grape region to pick grapes at ripe perfection.
I may sound like a snob, but you may have to be to make truly fine wine.

I always thought the taste was due to the lack. Of tannin. I would like to see is dried grape skin powder would help
