Make your own grape wine at home with a few basic ingredients.
Homemade grape wine does not require many ingredients, but you will need to remain patient during the process. Once all the ingredients are combined, the sugar will begin turning into alcohol and it will release gasses that cause an attached balloon to inflate. Once the sugar stops producing gasses, the balloon will deflate and you can enjoy your homemade grape wine.

Secure the balloon with a rubber band.
