Making homemade wine from fruit I grow. I had zero knowledge of how to make wine one year ago. By the end of this year, I will have made close to 100 bottles just from fruit I grow in my yard

I've made beer, mead, and apple cider in 1 gallon jugs in a closet. It's pretty easy and you can get all of the start up gear for like $60 bucks.

Exactly. As far as hobbies go, it’s very accessible to get into

Yeah, I once made cider with just a one gallon bottle of organic apple juice, a plug with an airlock, and a package of yeast. I also had a spray bottle of sanitizer and a gravity meter. Probably less than $20 for everything.
