Home Brewing refers to 'brewing' beer and is slightly more complicated as it involves more ingredients. Most common are hops and barley and fermentation time varies when compared to conventional wine making. I guess that only depends on type of kit you are using.

Besides fun factor, other reasons to home brew or home wine making would be price (Make bottles of wine for less than $0.25 cents), more control of taste, and of course freshness. To get started, I recommend to take a walk to your local library and read books on wine making and home brewing. You can also join online forums or how about a stroll to your local home brewing store. Their just be local wine clubs that you can visit for free wine tasting! That's a good way to get started if you ask me!

Everyone has their own unique reason as wine making and home brewing is just like any other hobby. You can share it with your friends, and you do it because you simply enjoy it!

Early Arabic coffee traders tended to gouge Spanish coffee merchants on pricing and result was highest priced cup of coffee in Europe. Portugal, Spain’s neighbor, had colonies in several coffee growing regions in Africa and sold coffee to Spain at more reasonable prices, however quality was not as good and some importers chose to pay higher prices for Arabian coffee.

Whether Spaniards were first to add alcohol to coffee is unknown, but this practice is very common in Spanish coffee houses even in morning hours so it is possible. The familiar drink on cold afternoons does have its origin in rich and elegant coffeehouses of Spain.
