Bottling one's own wine in NY? The US?

[likaluca]

I recently came back from europe and the folks I was staying with had purchased a demi-john of wine from a winery and had a snazzy machine with which they corked their own wine for storage. The wine certainly wasn't fancy, just good cheap italian table wine.

Best idea ever.

I was wondering if this is a possiblity at any vineyards in NY? Or if folks in other states have done this/know of places that do this. Perhaps its just another one of those awesome European things that we just don't have...

Does anyone know anything about buying wine in this way here in the states????

In Texas there's a chain called Water 2 Wine. You go in and make your own batch of wine. A few weeks (?) later you go back and bottle it. I think it's 30 bottles a batch?

I'd call the small Italian family restaurants, who purchase wine in large demi-johns, and then serve it to customers out of pitchers or re-useable bottles.
