Sanitation is one of the most important things that you are going to have to do when you are making your own wine. This is because it prevents bacteria from getting into your brew and spoiling the whole thing. If you do not do this, your wine is going to end up tasting like vinegar.
That being said, the best way to sterilize you equipment is to make a sodium or potassium metabisulfite solution to clean your equipment. You are going to have to make sure that you rinse everything afterwards because too much of this stuff is not a good thing.
Some wine makers choose to chlorinated cleaners like Diversol. While other just prefer to boil or steam clean their wine making equipment. If you do choose to use a chemical cleaner on your equipment just make sure that you do not rinse the chemicals off for at least fifteen minutes. This is going to give the chemicals enough time to do their job properly.
