California is 1200 miles north to south and representing many many garden zones. Sunset magazine says there are 17 zones...

Thanks.

I just looked up my zone.

Zone 17.

‘Sunset’ makes it harder than it has to be!

Time to start your wines for winter holiday imbibing! Added bonus? You get to buy balloons! (I actually use a cork and an air lock, but balloons work just fine.)

Rubber corks with a hole down the middle, gallon jugs and airlocks are available cheaply on Amazon.com. I’ve used the same ‘Gallo’ wine jugs for decades. Probably my favorite and the most successful has been Cranberry wine or Grape, using frozen concentrates.

Again, DO NOT use citrus of any kind. They’re adamant about that on all home wine-making sites I’ve looked at. Does it blow up? Will it kill you? I’m not risking it, LOL!
