Inmate Brew?

I'm going to try and make homemade wine. Not all fancy-schmancy, mind you... I don't have the know-how, experience, or money to go all out... The kind I'm going to try is called "inmate brew". Have any of you heard of this? Or have any of you ever tired to make your own wine??? As far as I've seen, it's just fruit juice, raisins, yeast, sugar, a siphon, and a balloon, pretty much. I've been watching videos on YouTube about it. It seems pretty easy, but I'm nervous because usually everything I try turns out completely wrong! LOL Oh well... If anything, it'll be an experience for me  :-p  Maybe I'll be able to splurge a bit and actually get some of the proper equipment?
