I'd like to try making wine this year.
I have a source of Concord grapes. This is the typical
somewhat tart grape common in new england.
Given that it is not very sweet naturally will it be necessary
to add a second grape variety? Or maybe just a sugar?
Anyone here use these grapes before? How many grapes/volume wine?

Go with Jack Keller for starters


Unless your grapes are very acidic, adding a lot of water is not
necessary.  Concord is best finished sweet.  Sweetening will cut down
on Jack's recommended aging time.
Jack's recipes are for ~1 gallon.
