  grape juice cannot turn into wine. wine is made a little differently from grape juice from different types of grapes, so once you have grape juice, you can't turn it into wine.

  Well, did you add yeast to it?

  It will take wild yeast (from the environment) about 2 weeks uncovered to ferment the sugars in your juice at about 60 degrees F.

  The alcohol produced from this fermentation will render the yeast inactive leaving some residual sugar (so your wine will be sweet) with a low alcohol content. The juice will not taste like the wine we purchase from a winery due to the grapes used.

  If you want a quality wine read a book on winemaking.
