I am a complete moron when it comes to wine. I don't drink it except on special occassions since I prefer beer.
After tasting my recent batch of Apfelwein, my uncle informed me that there is a field of wild concord grapes right across the street from his house. He said he uses them all the time to make jelly and juice. He also said I should come out and pick a bunch to make a batch of wine.
Now...knowing absolutely nothing about wine, can anyone point me in the right direction? How many do I need? What's the process? Any good recipes someone can give me? Does is need to be boiled like beer? Should I mix the concords with other grape or fruit varieties? Etc, etc, etc.
I'm just at a stand still right now and would love to know how I go about getting a batch together. A good step by step recipe would be excellent. Preferably a very good recipe.
Thanks in advance for the help.
