IF you do it for the fun of it, go ahead  . But otherwise, cost + work != quality of it.. Seriously  |
I remember years ago, an editorial from one of the contributing editors in the Wine Spectator. It was an open letter to all of his friends, and the future people that he would ever meet, that if he was invited over to their homes at some point, please do not ask him to review their home made wine, that came from powder, water and a bit of yeast. He didn't want to waste his time or their time. He had no problem telling them it was shit.
If you want something to throw into a spritzer, or sangria, or cook with.. I suppose its fine, but so much of the quality depends on the fruit, and the method. I'm sure that Mead, Beer, and Cider would be much easier to procure, and control. So I would stick with that.
