The question is not necessarily why you have started making wine, but why you are interested in this hobby. Do you just want to make some simple bottles from a kit and following the instructions to see if you can do it? Are you more experienced and you like to know more of the science behind it Why did you brew beer and now went to make wine? Are you doing it for getting drunk on your own wine? ... etc.
I guess what I like to know comes down to: Why do you like making wine?! Or maybe you just stumbled upon this forum and hate making wine, I don't know
For myself, I got a starting kit for my birthday last year and made 2 awful wines that went down the drain. I decided to read up a lot and have expanded my winemaking gear from a simple start kit to better and more equipment with autosiphon, refractometer, 5 carboys, a gazillion airlocks, "brewing pot", a better corker etc.
I do this as a hobby because I like to experiment with different tastes, see what result a must renders. I'm interested to read about experiences of others. And of course eventually the reward of having a homemade good bottle and sharing it with friends, being proud of the result and wanting to make more.
Let's hear your reason for making wine at home!
