Making wine at home, advice please

I'd recommend "from vines to wines" by Cox as a book. Also, on-line at
www.morebeer.com (and probably other sites - that's the one I use),
they have a beginner's kit pre-packed, and it seems well designed for
the job of getting you started. I did my buying piecmeal over time,
because I started by helping a friend who had most of his stuff (handed
down from his dad), so I got to judge what I thought was most useful,
and what I thought I could do without, and you'll find over time that
your interests and the time you're taking to do the job will lead you
to all sorts of purchases later on. You'll also find that any of the
big equipment you might need (crusher, press, corker) can be rented, at
least until you're doing so much it's cheaper to buy them. :-)

I've never done a true full kit, so I don't know the price of that, but
I've bought fresh wine juice for about $100/6 gallons, and 100 pounds
of grapes (which I've found can get you about 6 gallons of wine) for
anywhere between 40 cents to $1.15/pound, depending on the type of wine
grape and where you're getting it from. If you become really good
friends with a wine grower, you might be able to raid their vineyard.

Hope that helps
