Here is a simple way I was taught...
5- gal water bottle with a cap and a tube to run from fermenting bottle to a 2-litre bottle of water --- this is to let gas work off--
a clean 5- gal bucket full of berries etc. mash up the fruit ..
funnell in to ferment bottle
a gallon of water-
1-pack of yeast
mix in water
a 10-lb bag of sugar
mix and dissolve in water
funnel mix in to ferment bottle
stir contents
add water to top of curve in main bottle
set cap with tube ran to water bottle
let it wok till bubbles stop
and let it set alittle longer
then bottle in as sterilized bottles as you can.
Good Luck

i use to make a lot and all was sparkling wine
a recipe is a quart of friut for a gal of water, a pound-1/2 of sugar for every gal
i used food safe 4 gal. buckets that had a snaping lid made a small hole in the top for a peice of tubing that went in a small pill bottle to the bottom of it' add a little bit of water in the bottle for a bubbler
1 pack of yeast be sure to start the yeast in luke warm water to start it i used a 1/2 pk. for 4 gals
i pressure cook it to get the alcohol to 30%
i have used 5 gal glass bottles and a cork into the pill bottle just make sure that its only a 1/4 inch of water in the pill bottle or it will build to much pressure and blow the glass bottle or u can use a rubber in the top of the 5 gal glass bottle will work to when the rubber goes down the wine is done
be sure to set it in a cool dark place that stays above 72 degs
dont add store bought juices cause they have persertives in them and that will kill the yeast
if u make grape wines u dont need yeast at all but takes a long time to work i alwasy add a little if u use to much it will make the wine bitter
ive made grape,canlope,strawberry,cherry,blackberry,black-red rasberry,blueberry,watermelon,peach,wild cherry,mawlberry
all u need to make alcohol is water,sugar,yeast the friut is for flavor

I don't make make wine myself or at least never tried to, but my dad used to use old clay 10 gal pickle crocks and he would line the inside of the crock he used to age in with maple slats, but I don't remember anymore what maple he used.

A little wine every day strengthens the blood ... so I've heard tell.
