Hello, I have made wine before a long time ago with my dad but it was just Welch's grape juice and it turned out alright. This time, I'm making some Prosecco for my friend's wedding gift and I bought a Prosecco Base. I'm not much of a wine person and therefore I don't know much about Prosecco...

I want to find out if apple wine can be with the same depth of character as grape wine. To start, I want to experiment with different varieties of apples. I live in Eastern WA, so there's a ton of locally grown varieties to pick from. I've also read that unlike grapes, apples are often a little...
