Ferment fruit into wine through patience and a little science.
This is a hobby that asks you to wait, then wait some more.
You crush and ferment in a flurry of sticky, slightly smelly activity, then the wine takes months to become anything, and you won't know if it's good until it's far too late to fix.
When a batch comes out right it's deeply satisfying to pour something you grew patient enough to make, but you'll also tip a few failed batches down the drain.
