Never tried making watermelon wine, but BANANA wine is weird in a bad way. Plum wine is excellent.

Re:Any Costs?

I believe a business that sells OSS CDs may be a cheaper way. I haven't had broadband for four years, and don't miss it. I've bought over 50 CDs from a U.S. company:

where one CD costs US $0.99, and adding ordinary postage, brings the total cost to $2.49. I've tried a dozen or more distributions, get Open Office.Org this way, get new releases, etc.

I didn't see if they had international shipping restrictions on their website. There are several other companies that do this in the U.S., Canada, I think the UK and probably elsewhere. Maybe even international postage would not be too much.
