I am sure there was such a person a LONG time ago.
After a few weeks the must (liquid) will have ceased fermentation and start to clear. Carefully syphon off into a clean (sterilised) demijohn, place the airlock firmly in the neck and replace in storage for another few weeks. Eventually when all fermentation has ceased the liquid is clear, again syphon off into another clean (sterilised) demijohn - voila!!! - you have succeeded in turning water into wine!!!

No Sweetie darlin' - not quite as simple as that - needs a lot of work and everything has to be thoroughly cleaned and sterilised before using.

My late Father used to make wine. Any that he was not happy with, went into a weird thing in his shed. Pipes coming from a pressure cooker. The result was a clear liquid that could knock your head off!

Yes Sweetie darlin' - called a still!!! At one time it was unlawful to produce your own spirits, but that changed some years ago and providing you only made it for your own consumption and not in commercial quantities, HMRC left you alone.
