I'm not sure on what type of grape it is they are fairly small green grapes nothing like you pickup in the store. I may have to snag some next season and give this a try. I have a garden myself but I mostly grow vegetables -- Only fruit I have is a few strawberry pots but I don't think they would produce enough for wine.

I have also always put sterilising solution into the airlock.
