I've brewed nearly 1,000 gallons of wine and mead. I've won a couple of local contests with my mead and wines. About 200 gallons of that was with balloon air locks in plastic jugs when I first started out a few years ago. The reason I advocate balloons is for beginners how want to get brewing ASAP while waiting for an order of brewing equipment or when you've all your current air locks are being used and you need to brew more batches. They also make great air locks when used properly.

Prison wine is called Pruno and is made in an entirely different way and with quite different ingredients that you make standard wine. Pruno will always be the absolute worst tasting alcoholic beverage ever created because of the ingredients and methods used to make it.

You are most likely thinking of hobo wine. Hobo wine uses store bought fruit juice, sugar, and baking yeast. Which, if done correctly can make an excellent wine. Some of my best wines have been hobo wines.
