Wine on the other hand produces pretty good results, is more reliable, takes less work, and saves you a lot more money than home made beer will.

If doing wine, get the big pails of juice that are not concentrated and that you don't have to add water to. (Costco had some on sale for $50.) Buy the right equipment. Be patient and follow the instructions dilligently. After racking off sediment, top up with a store bought wine rather than using water. This produces a decent wine at about $2 a bottle. If done right, it doesn't have to taste like the yeasty, putrid homemade wines that you may have received for Christmas from an elderly relative.
