The Canadian legal system is a jumbled mass of legal jargon and red tape. Luckily enough, the laws are quite simple and clear about making and distributing your home made wine.
1. You can make all the wine at home that you want. You can not make liquor though.
2. You can share your wine all that you want as long as you do not charge any thing for it.
3. You are allowed to provide home made wine for family related events like weddings as long as you are related to the host of the party.
These are pretty simple and straight forward so if you need to know more about the subject of Canadian home made wine laws then you can just ask a question on here or dig through piles of government web pages and PDF documents like I did.
Also, these laws apply to home made beer as well. Happy Brewing.

How long can I keep a bottle of wine that has been opened?
Open wine will not last very long. If you are planning on keeping it at room temperature then you are going to have a few days before your bottle of wine goes south. If you keep it refrigerated, then you might have a week before it goes bad.
This is because wine is like fresh fruit. It can get easily contaminated by airborne bacteria and what ever nasties that may be floating around.
The best way to keep your open bottle of wine is to transfer it into a clean, small container that has less air in it and then seal it tightly. You then need to put it in the fridge right away. You might even want to put it in the freezer so the temperature drops quicker. Just make sure that you don't forget your wine in the freezer because a wine Popsicle is probably terrible. Maybe, I think that I am going to try that tomorrow.

Is Home Made Wine Making Expensive?
Not at all. Most wine making kits that you purchase online are around $100 and the ingredients are about $50. This will make you about thirty bottles. Which means that you will be making bottles of wine for about $5 each.
That is just your first batch. Once you are working on your second batch and already have the wine making kit, you will just need the ingredients. This means that you will be making wine for about $1.60 per bottle. If you can grow your own grapes or harvest your own fruit the cost per bottle will drop even lower.

Where can I find a cheap wine making kit?
Cheap is a relative term. Some people are going to say that Ferrari's are cheap, not me though.
You can get cheap wine making kits from pretty much any where. Your local wine making store has them and you can buy them online. You might even get lucky enough to find a used one from a local classified. If you do come across a used wine kit for sale, make sure that it has all of the pieces that you need and that you clean it better than you have ever cleaned anything in your life.
The cheapest wine making kits that you can buy are currently found online. The only cheaper option would be to improvise and make your own tools and find random containers to ferment your wine.
When you buy a cheap wine making kit you are also going to get a lot of things that you will not find around the house, like an instruction manual, corks and everything else that you need.
This kit that I have posted below is probably one of the best on the market right now. If you don't believe me then I suggest that you read the reviews section.
So that was the long answer to where you can find a cheap wine making kit, but the short answer is right here.
Happy Brewing.
