Question about grapes.

[scubaman2151]

Hi guys,

This is the first of many posts to come. I just got interested in making wine, I have a few grape vines in my back yard and was wondering how I would be able to make wine out of it.

Basically, question is,

How do I take the grapes from the vine, and get them properly into a jucied form?

I would like to make a red wine so I take it that I leave the skins on the grapes.

I take it that I just make some type of press, and press the juice out of the grapes?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Scuba, try THIS PAGE and scroll down to online winemaking books. Lots of good info. Another good source is From Vines to Wines: The Complete Guide to Growing Grapes and Making Your Own Wine (Paperback) by Jeff Cox. You will get just about all the info you need from these sources.
