I plan on modifying it somewhat and playing around with it. Amylase is good, but the wines I've done use a simultaneous saccharification with those poly cultures you get in chink shops. It's similar to koji in sake but a one pot set it forget it type deal. The mold breaks down the starches and the yeast do their yeasting. It's sold in packages of jiuqu, dried yeast balles, or something like that. I just bought what matched the picture. The fob staff at those places barely speak english anyway so it's difficult to ask for help. Ignore the ingredients, it says just flour and yeast but they've always worked when I try to make the good stuff with it. Cost was $3.95 for a 12.3oz bag.
Essentially it's cook rice, mix powdered ball(<103F), put in jar, wait, strain solids, pasteurize, bottle.

If you're interested in more reading there's a lot on Researchgate if you search for shit like Enzymatic extrusion and other rice winey terms. Ideal ratios is 1:100 amylase:rice. Correct pH with lactic acid to 3.5ish, I can't remember the best atm. A paint stirrer and drill should make short work after you've mixed the two if you go that route.

Did you ever try it? It almost sounds too good to be true.
