Make your own unique wines without the need to grow your own vineyard! Expert vintner Todd York will explain how to use a home fermenting kit to make fruit wines like no other, so you can produce a vintage according to your own taste in wine.

Taste the literal fruits of your labour in the form of watermelon Merlot and apple cider wine. Along the way, learn how the wine making apparatus works, and how the fermenting process can be adjusted to produce different flavours.
