Make my own honey mead, cider and beer. 
opcorn: great hobby to have, costs less to drink too.

Good thing about box wine is after you drink it all and pass out, you can blow the bag back up for an inflatable pillow.
Something tells me @MartinD probably fancies wine.
I enjoy wine, but don't know enough about it to be able to hold a conversation or have a real preference. Last summer I was living with two room mates, one didn't drink and the other one did. For maybe two weeks straight we'd drink wine each night. I think we probably bought one of each bottle from Wal-Mart... so obviously it wasn't anything fancy.
Now I kind of want to get some half decent wine.
Cheaper to brew your own and much more fun. 5 gal of 15.5% honey mead cost only 45$ to make about 2 month to make and 6 months for good clean flavor. 5 Gal of cider depending on the recipe cost between 35$ and 45$ to make and only takes about 1.5 months to make. 5 Gal of beer to make 35-45$ to make again 1.5 months to make. Better deal to make and you enjoy it better and learn something. B)

Up until last year I had a glass of red wine every day (sometimes every other day).. I read somewhere that it's good for your heart..
Urg, wine is horrid! Beer/Vodka/jager!

We are in the same boat. I don't know that much about wine types and all but when I get free time I have done some research up on the kinds and how some are designed to age, others drink now and some need to be aired. It's an interesting little hobby as I call it. There is just something fun about having many types of bottles that have different flavors and after awhile you can no longer by that year's vintage.
How I got started was I ended up with $450 worth of wine for free in discounts so I ended up with 18 something bottles and I've been trying all different kinds as I grabbed one from each. Granted, these were from a website that sold wine grown by independent growers.
Yep, it is. It actually is good for a lot of things when not over dosed.
I am told that making it is a fun hobby/art and you can really have a lot of fun and get into it.

That would depend entirely on what you're drinking it with.
Wine is like clothes - you wear what's suitable for the occasion. Same with wine - you drink what's suitable. You wouldn't drink a good 96 Rioja with some Dover Sole.

This is true. I recently opened a red wine from you guys, and I've really come to enjoy it over a lot of the others. I'll be buying some more just to send out to some clients of ours. I told one of them about it and she likes her red wines so they can't wait.

Wine is ahh alright.... Minus sulfides though....
I don't get fancy like others home crafting the stuff... I small gallon brew random juice now and then.... hooch I'd guess one might consider it... Snob tastebuds might go blah, but works for me and my cost for real? Juice + yeast + time.... Way way less than what others are spending.
Then again, I figure I can ferment to decent alcohol just about anything. I call it nutrition and good for gut bacteria....

Too funny, honey mead is made very simple as well very few ingredients and the best part is I never get a hangover because no artificial sugar or additives are in it. You have the same steps just different products used. Try making the mead it takes a little time to finish but you wont be sorry to have tasted it.Wine is ahh alright.... Minus sulfides though....

Haha! Indeed sir! I'm a fan of LOL Lambrusco (that's really the name). It's a low alcohol by volume wine and it's not too dry.Young man drinking.
