This past weekend I finally bottled a 5 gallon batch of sweet red Concord wine I had aging for about a year and a half. I kind of got out of the habit of making wine for a while but still had this batch aging in bulk. It turned out very good, nice and sweet and very smooth.

It got me into the mood to make some more so I started a batch of white Niagra and I plan to make a port soon.
 
I didn't make it from scratch. I made it from Welch's grape juice from the grocery store. I started tasting it this summer. With each passing month, it has tasted less like must and more like wine. A couple more months, and it will be a year old. That's when I plan to drink it.
