I have had good luck using honey to make wine.  I takkke about 3-4
gallons of water and add honey, until my hydrometer gives me about 15%
alcohol potential.  I try to end up with 5 gallons of this mix.  I then
add a generic wine yeast and let it ferment in an open container for
aboout 4 days.  after that I siphon it into a glass coontainer such as a
bottled water bottle and seal it with an airlock.  I then let it work
until the airlock stops bubbling.  this may take months.  I then bottllle
it in old wine bottles, screw on caps or cork is fine.  you can drink a
little then but it is better if it ages for a year or two.
