Are you looking for wines for a wedding or anniversaries try a make your own wine shop or store look under wine making supplies these are people that specialize in small batch production.
OK, here’s the magazine for amateurs to get started:
Now, if you want to become a winemaker you need to source grapes. Depending on where you are, there should be one or more home brew places. They will have listings of who is selling grapes (at harvest in September/October). If they don’t, you can usually buy raw grape juice to start with. Don’t expect to make a Lafite-Rotheschild with this stuff, but you’ll make a decide wine that you can label and call your own. Remember, wine making should be fun!
The best advice I can give you is that using good materials gives good results. If you’re in a major metro area with a bottling company, they can help with the equipment, storeage, yeast, etc. For example, in San Francisco there’s a company called Crushpad that offers bottling and production for hobby producers.
There are a few places that offer “personal bottling”. These wineries usually have a “BYOB” deal where you bring your own bottles and they fill them with their wine. You can slap a lable on it and call it your own. Keep in mind that this is a novelty and you’ll need to comply with local laws for labels and distribution.

If it’s your project, why do you want someone else to do it for you? You should do it yourself. Making wine is very easy.
