Start by gathering all of the equipment you'll need. This includes a fermenter (such as a bucket or carboy), hoses for bottling, bottles for storing the wine, caps, a hydrometer, a thermometer, and of course, the wine kit.

Sanitize all of your equipment thoroughly before starting. This is crucial to prevent any unwanted bacteria or other contaminants from spoiling your wine. You can use a commercial sanitizer, or make your own by mixing a tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water.

Next, pour the wine concentrate from the kit into your fermenter. Add the recommended amount of water, as specified in the kit instructions. Mix thoroughly to ensure the concentrate is fully dissolved.

Add the yeast to the mixture. You can either sprinkle it directly onto the surface of the liquid, or rehydrate it first by mixing it with a small amount of warm water.

Cover the fermenter with a lid or cloth, making sure to leave some room for air to escape. Some people prefer to use a carboy with an airlock to prevent oxygen from entering the wine, but this is not necessary.

Place the fermenter in a cool, dark place where the temperature remains relatively stable. Aim for a temperature of around 70 degrees Fahrenheit, as this is optimal for most wine yeasts.

After a few days, check the specific gravity of the wine using the hydrometer. This will help you determine when fermentation is complete. The specific gravity should be around 0.998 or lower.

Once fermentation is complete, it's time to bottle the wine. Use the hoses to transfer the wine from the fermenter into the bottles, leaving a little bit of space at the top.

Add the caps to the bottles, and store them in a cool, dark place for several weeks to allow the wine to age and develop its flavor.

When you're ready to enjoy your homemade wine, chill it for a few hours in the refrigerator before serving.

That's it! With a little bit of patience and attention to detail, you can make delicious wine at home using the Costco $80 wine kit.
