How to Make Homemade Wine from Chilean Merlot Grapes Part 4 of 5

Part 4 of 5: Making Homemade Wine. Pressing the grapes (continued), viewing the pomace cake, overview of all winemaking processes thus far in the wine videos and watching the wine in the carboys ferment with the recitation of a portion of the Holy Rosary in the background. This video demonstrates the making of Merlot wine from a shipment of fresh Chilean grapes. The procedure for making this homemade wine is done in a step by step/day by day (story) method. I have also included some of my favorite audio clips from famous DeNiro movies and older Italian-American style songs in what I felt was a "humorous" manner that enhanced the enjoyment of these four videos. Topics in these five videos include: Making Homemade Wine, Winemaking Video, Making Homemade Merlot Wine, Winemaking, Homemade Wine, Chilean Grapes, Merlot Wine, Making Wine, Pressing Wine Grapes, Crushing Wine Grapes, Wine Fermentation, Racking Wine, Wine Press, Grape Crusher, Wine Yeast, Wine Must, Wine Siphoning, Testing Wine pH, Measuring Wine Acid, Testing Wine Sugar, Testing Wine Acid, Wine Hydrometer, Wine Additives, Wine Labels, PVC Bottle Seals, etc.

Hey guys, great video, nice to see the whole process in-depth like this. Normally you can find portions of it with this detail but it was nice to see the entire thing from beginning to end. My question though is: I assume you're not selling your wine, so in terms of cost vs. output, was it worth it? Obviously the equipment wasn't cheap, so at what point does it pay off for you in terms of price? How much were the grapes?

Even if it does not equal out, it seems like something I could get into.
