    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Make Grape jelly or eat them. Any home made wine I have ever had was not all that great until it was turned to brandy.

    Find someone who is experienced and share with him. Grape is not the easiest to start off with. You have to experiment to get the taste you prefer. In addition it is a big investment to get the proper equipment to do it right. The balloon BS is not the way to go.

    cause they had no idea what they where doing and how to store it, wine only turns to brandy through distillation, now it will turn to vinegar if the ph is not correct

    Just get you a little wine making book. You can make your water traps out of surgical tubing and a cork.
    I use the big five gallon water bottles to ferment and more surgical tubing to syphon the wine, leaving the sediment, into another bottle to finish.
    Store in dark cool place for three years and you have good wine.

    Don't bottle it too early or you just blow your corks.

    Three years is ridiculous! You monitor it until the sugar is converted.

    If they are eating grapes like Thompsons, the wine is unlikely to be great. Concords make icky sweet wine and great grape juice.

    You did use wine yeast appropriate to the type of grape right? Brewers yeast or Baking yeast will not produce drinkable product. And as others have mentioned it does need to age after bottling for a couple of years....

    That said I have never had muscadine or scuppernong wine that was worth consuming... (until it was distilled into brandy...)
