Homemade wine update #4

Ive been playing around with Inkscape to make labels for my wine.  Made two diffrent ones.  One for the bottle that I am going to cellar for a year to see what it does and then one for the rest of the bottles.  A quick trip to Staples for some appropriate sized shipping labels (which are WAY over priced by the way) and here is the finished product.

All labeled up

Warning for the back.

Wine Update #3

Over the holiday weekend I decided to bottle up my homemade wine since the gravity hadn't moved in several days.  Ended up with a little over a case of 375ml bottles.  It turned out better then I was expecting for just using Reliance table grapes and wild yeast that was on the grapes.  It kind of reminds me of a dry rose, boozy with a bit of grape flavor.  Its not going to win any awards but it is definitely drinkable which is all I could ask for.  It will be interesting to see how it develops over the coming months in the bottle. 






Im going to give it a go next year to see if I can improve on it, definitely some things I would do differently.
