Home winemaking methods, such as running an oxcart over a can of grape soda or inviting a grape to play chicken against a roller skate, invariably end with people licking sticky wheels. Learn to get grapes in bottles with today's deal: for $59, you get a do-it-yourself batch of sweet fruit wine with personalized labels at It's Your Winery (a $125 value). This Groupon is valid for fruit wine only.

It's Your Winery's winemaking shop provides parched Akronites with a sleek, urban space in which to brew their own lip-licking vintages. Novice oenophiles can begin their palate's journey to sophistication by choosing one of the 11 varieties of fruit wine, such as green apple riesling, blueberry pinot noir, black raspberry merlot, blackberry cabernet, or pomegranate zinfandel. Then, the winery's expert staff monitors the fermentation process, keeping yeast cultures within strict temperature ranges like plucked chickens inside strict electric blankets.

Within five to nine weeks, the wine blossoms into a full-grown adult beverage, ripe and ready for bottling and labeling. Each batch, which yields thirty 750 mL bottles, includes corks, shrink caps, and 30 personalized labels. Bottles are not included, but you may bring your own or purchase them for $1 each.

New customers only. Must call to make appointment. Bottles not included.
