I would say the Skeeter Pee you see so many threads about here would be a great plac to start. Skeetef is very good, super simple, and very cheap. As in it only cost me $25 for five gallons and I was using the expensive 'real and pure organic lemon juice'. I'm not much for grape wines myself, I'm a Mead maker, but i'm over on this forum quite often to learn any tips and tricks that will help with my Mead, and this is where i first learned about skeeter. Within a week I had 10 gallons in the works! I highly recommend it.

I remember, years ago getting a six'r of Mike's Hard Lemonade. I drank one that night and I liked it. The next day I brought the other five bottles to the pool. You know, it's kind of hard to drink more than two of those in a sitting..............
............. Now beer on the other hand, I can drink all day. I recommend beer.

An easy no-fail method I swear by...

10 containers frozen juice concentrate (any flavors you like)
10 # sugar
1tbl Nutrient
1tbl Energizer
1pkt Yeast (I usualy use montrechet)
Water up to 5 gallons

And let it go.

I make other batches with all fruit or mixed fruit and concentrate... but for just general party hooch this method is cheap and effective.
