Make your own wine!
A kit consisting of primary fermenter, glass carboy, hydrometer, stir spoon and thermometer run less than $40.
Buy your wine kits from Costco. $$50-$60 (CDN) for two kits (enough to make 60 750 ml bottles. These kits come with corks, tubes and labels. Borrow the corker and filter from the store when you want to bottle.
Make 2 kits a month. After two months, you can start drinking your first batch. It'll end up costing $1 a bottle.
Up here in Canada you can go to a place that'll let you make the wine there, but it'll cost you $80-$100 a batch (30 bottles). I never did that but a lot of my friends did. I prefer to make my own. The hardest part is cleaning the bottles.
