2 cans preservative-free Welsh's 100% grape juice concentrate
1.25 lbs white sugar
1 tsp pectic enzyme (NOT pectin)
1 tsp yeast nutrient

Boil 1 qt water, dissolve sugar. Add frozen concentrate. Add to sanitized fermenter (cleaned-out jug of Carlo Rossi works well), top up with water to 1 gallon and add other ingredients. Cover with napkin secured by rubber band. Leave overnight.
In the morning, add a packet of dry wine yeast (Montrachet or similar). Leave in the dark, at room temperature (65-72 or so). Consider placing in bucket to catch spills.
When fermentation slows down in 5 days or so, remove napkin and fit airlock (if using Carlo Rossi jug, a #6 bung works well).

After a few weeks, rack to new jug, top up to reduce headspace, re-fit airlock.

A month later, stabilize with sulfites and bottle. About $1 a bottle to make, and surprisingly decent.

fruitbatnt: Maybe farkers can answer this for me:

Is there anyone under 30 (or even 40) who enjoys white wine? I absolutely love a good red (usually a Pinotage or Syrah) but have yet to meet anyone near my age who would choose white, even with fish.

Cheap Rose I can get down with because it's like drinking kool-aid, not because it resembles "wine" in any way.

25, wine snob, and I love many white wines from sweet to bone dry. I believe that any sound wine has something you can appreciate about it

the biatches - they love muscat - fastest growing market segment (by varietal) in 2011. dry whites are a tough to sell to younger generations.

I read constantly that reds and whites are the same if you close your eyes. It's mental gymnastics that make people love/hate them.

But that's on fark, so feh.

I hate to sound like a wine snob here, but if this is how you describe Rose I doubt you have had any "real" Rose. If by Rose you mean White Zin or Muscadine Blush or something like that then, yes, those resemble Kool-Aid. But true rose has nothing at all in common with Kool Aid. Go into a quality bottle shop sometime and ask someone for a crisp dry Rose, you'd be stunned at how perfect a nice glass of Rose can be. Not only is a good glass of Rose pretty much perfect on a hot day, but Rose is an amazingly versatile food pairing wine, because it combines elements and flavors of red wines and white wines.

I have worked in wine sales and, unfortunately, I believe you are quite right about what people under 40, especially men, drink. Many (most?) of them think that only red wines are "serious" (whatever that means) and won't even considering buying a white wine. Some of them even guffaw at the suggestion. Their mentality is that white wines are something watery and girly, best suited for their wives to drink. Many women think the same thing too, unfortunately.

To me, white wines are more interesting and diverse than red. White wine can run such a wine gamut of flavors.

Bingo.

I prefer red over white pretty much every time, but I can go for a nice chilled white wine on a hot summer day. However I'd usually go for a beer in that situation.

This is completely anecdotal, but I've noticed white wines to be much more popular with the ladies.

Perhaps, they meant....

It's a grill subby, not a bbq. Also, good bbq has as much depth as a fine wine, it's just not pretentiously limited in quantity and run up in price by snobs.

Also, wine pairing is important, regardless of food.

#1 rule for pairing wine with food: don't worry about it. Drink the wine you feel like drinking.

I came home from work Friday and decided, for not particular reason, that I felt like scrambled eggs, bacon, and hash browns for dinner. Did I have wine with that meal? I most certainly did.

I've been drinking several Finger Lakes region Reislings for a few years now and I just turned 32. Salmon Run, Glenora, and Silver Pencil are my favorites, with the annual Lilac Hill from Casa Larga being a rare treat since it's a bit harder to come by. I hardly drink other wine unless it's the cheap stuff in hot weather over ice (don't judge me).

I'm almost 27, make my own wines, and I drink both. It really depends on the kits you buy to make, to be honest. Being totally obvious here, but 130 dollar kit tastes far better than a 30 dollar kit.

I've also never had a Rose/Blush that tasted like kool-aid, so methinks you're doing it wrong. It's only supposed to taste like kool-aid if it's a cooler and/or a specialty Icewine/Port kit, and I do make a bunch of those too. I also like to buy "boost" for the coolers, and bump them up from about 6-7% to 12-14%.

I have a really nice white right now called Pacifica, which tastes really grapefruity. It was bottled about a year ago. I'm also partial to Piesporter and Chenin Blanc.

I will say that cheap Chardonnay tastes like arse. Do not buy Costco wine kits, as they are super nasty.

What the hell is your problem... is moving a fetish of yours or something?

I came home from work Friday and decided, for not particular reason, that I felt like scrambled eggs, bacon, and hash browns for dinner. Did I have wine with that meal? I most certainly did.

Even beyond the "drink what you feel like" point (which is true) there isn't any reason eggs, bacon and hash browns wouldn't pair well with the right wine or beer.

That idea that only certain kinds of "proper" meals can pair with drinks is an antiquated falsehood from back in the days when food and wine was more about pomp and ritual than flavor. Eggs, bacon and hashbrowns have certain flavors, and those can be paired with drinks
