This can't be answered on a forum, hundreds of books and thousands of years of winemaking knowledge have been accumulated on this subject. Generally, the steps for red wine production from grapes (slightly more detailed than first anon post) would be 1. Destemming/Crushing ripe grapes. 2. Alcoholic fermentation (using wine yeasts, order from catalog - generally yeasts are delivered dehydrated and rehydrated with water) AF will also require maceration of the grape skins with the fermenting juice. 3. Racking wine and pressing of grapes to remove remaining wine. 4. ML fermentation (optional, softens acidity and gives many quality wines a buttery component) 5. Fining and filtering - to remove solids, crystalline compounds (tartrate), and sediment. 6. Maturation/barrel aging of wine - Oak is often introduced in this phase. 7. Bottling

Ingredients: 1 Can frozen juice concentrate (defrosted) 1 Packet Yeast (wine yeast. Please don't use bread yeast or beer yeast. They don't produce enough alcohol, and they give off other compounds that interfere. If for some reason you don't want to be bothered with wine yeast, make beer.) 1 Cup Sugar Juice (preferably matching that of the concentrate) Okay, so here's the deal. Get some sort of container for your wine, perhaps juice jugs, or anything that can be decently sealed up. I don't suggest using a bucket. Next, mix in all the ingredients and stir 'em up, real good like. Cover the top of the container (and really, the best is a jug) with plastic wrap and a rubberband. You want to keep all of the oxygen out, but you want excess carbon dioxide to escape. Sealing it airtight is not a good plan, unless you are trying to carbonate the wine. Wait two weeks for fermentation, then strain out the yeast and chill! In my experience, the best batches have also stayed in the fridge for a few days to settle. Also, the best flavors that I've enjoyed are Cranberry and Cran-Rasberry, so I would suggest going with those. You can try your own, but just keep in mind that it could end in disaster. Trust me, don't try apple. Note: It's a good idea to put it somewhere like the garage or hall closet... after a few days your brew will exude the smell of fermentation!!

basic pure steps of winemaking?

wtf

How do I prepare the yeast?

1. plantation (or grafting) of a vine stock 2. growing of the grape-bunch 3. harvesting the grapes 4. de-stemming* and crushing the grapes 5. alcoholic fermentation of the liquid 6. maceration* 7. raking the wine 8. malolactic fermentation 9. maturation of the wine 10. bottling the wine 11. tasting the wine
