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.

Yup, home made wine can produce some good results. I had some pretty fair success with sherry, mead and cider too. Beer was definitely the hardest stuff to make. The most rewarding when you got a good batch therefore, but not worth the effort in general.
All this chat about home made spirits makes me miss making the stuff. I got too busy with my business and had to quit. Too bad. Maybe when I retire I'll have time to get back into it, whenever that might be.
