I have been brewing beer for awhile now, but have never tried wine. On Thanksgiving I tried a sip of some homemade wine that a friend of the family had made. Wasn't too bad.
Here is my question: when I started brewing beer everyone said it would be really good-- even the very first batch. I didn't believe them. I was pretty skeptical that I could take all that primitive looking stuff into my kitchen and end up with something good. Man, was I amazed. By my second batch I was making beer that was better than any commercial brew I ever tasted. Will this be true with wine? "Real" commercial winemakers have spent 100's of years perfecting their craft. How can I ever expect to do even nearly as good as they do?
