-
Gather all ingredients.

Combine sugar, juice concentrate, and yeast in a 1-gallon jug. Fill the jug the rest of the way with cold water. Stir or shake well until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
-
Rinse out a large balloon; fit it over the opening of the jug. Secure the balloon with a rubber band.
-
Place jug in a cool dark place. Within a day, you will notice the balloon starting to expand. As sugar turns to alcohol, gasses will release and fill up the balloon.
-
When the balloon has deflated, wine is ready to drink. It takes about 6 weeks total.
