We now have access to proper yeasts, good quality malt and grape extracts, usable sanitisers and plastic equipment. These result in far better results than the hobby has a reputation for.

Make sure you contact people today (i.e. on 1st of January) to prevent them putting their wine bottles in the recycling.
You can make beer from scratch or from kit. From scratch takes longer and produces better results. If you use a 2 can beer kit, the results will be OK. If you use a 1 can beer kit that needs sugar or spray malt, you will be disappointed.
Wine kits can cost up to and above £60 for the concentrate to make 20-odd bottles. You will easily be able to pass this off as a £10 per bottle wine. You can also buy dirt cheap wine concentrate in cans that will produce the nasty result that gave home beer and wine making a bad name.
Tell your homebrew shop person you want to make a drink you will enjoy drinking and sharing and they will advise you accordingly.
If, however, you just want to get blind drunk very cheaply, just buy white cider in the supermarket.
