Looking to save money by making my own wine.

Ok, so I drink a bottle a night on average and my wife drinks a bottle every couple of nights on average.
So thats's 365 for me and 183 for her which gives 548 bottles.

Now sometimes we have friends over so I guess that could be rounded up to 600 or even 700 bottles of 70cl.

According to this Google Search Google it would take 600 - 800 grapes to make a bottle so lets take an average of 700.

700 grapes * by 650 bottles means I need about 455,000 grapes.

Tesco sell them in punnets for £2 which contain about 45 grapes so based on that I would spend over £20,000. This obviously isn't economically viable.

So how many grapes are on an average grape tree.. Would 455,000 grapes be on a single tree and could I harvest them and save a fortune?
