can anyone please tell me what I need to do to make Champagne from a fruit wine? preferably the "dummies" version of how to do it lol

~Thank you~

Are you referring to a sparkling (carbonated) fruit wine? I'm kind of a newbie myself but i'm pretty sure you need a certain grape to make actual champagne.

Ya sparkling wine. there pretty the same, from what I have read

Champagne is made from grapes local to Champagne, France. You might be able to get a champagne taste from a simple white wine kit made with champagne yeast + strong carbonation.

As long as there are still yeast in there, a pinch of priming sugar or a drop or so of corn syrup should do the trick. There are many guides online for carbonating wines to make them sparkle, depending on your choice of fruit you should be able to find help with google.

Also, there is always force-carbonation using a soda siphon or kegging system.
