Wine Marking Part I

For my first activity (now known as activeunity) I have stumbled upon Wine Making! An amazing activeunity that truly anyone can participate in, and one that I have will be spending plenty of time perfecting in the future.

Why the activeunity of wine making? First of all, gimme a break, anyone who enjoys wine has at least thought about making some of their own at one point or another. But let's dig in deeper! Picking grapes; stomping grapes; playing with fermentation: so many new and amazing experiences all drawn together within one activity that comes with a bunch of amazing finished products you can show off to your friends! (not to mention give as gifts being that it tis the season)

One of the greatest parts of this activeunity is the fact you don't need to a lot of time, money, or talent to do it and do it well. Don't let the time thing make you think the wine will be done in a month though. This one is fun since you start out with a fun afternoon and evening combo, wait a few months and spend some more hours, wait a few months then spend a few more hours! I'm currently in my second waiting phase. 5 gallons of Chardonnay in the near future!

Thanks for the comment. The snow WAS great! Wine Making was a good call. Lots of fun, and nearly all your friends will be willing to give your product a try. Never experimented with wine, but have had great success with brewing beer. Good Luck!
