Traditional wine is Fabulous, but have you ever wondered what it would be like to create wine from the fruit you've got growing in your backyard; or from unused preserves in your cabinet? Winemakers across the world are experimenting with cherries, pineapples, pomegranates, oranges, dandelions, and other non-grape ingredients. In this course, you will learn basic wine-making principles, yeast requirements, flavor creation, and recipe development.
