Why do you make wine?

We would like to know why you make wine?


	I can experiment with creating new wines
	It is the challenge of making wine
	I don’t have a life
	I drink more wine than I can afford to buy
	I like the bragging rights that come with making my own wine
	I can make it cheaper than I can buy it
	I think I can make better wine than I can purchase
	I think it is fun to make my own wine (and share it)
