Gallons of juice equals pounds of sugar. 10 gallons of liquid = 10 pounds of sugar. Yeast is roughly 1 pack per 5 gallons. Bakers yeast can be used and is readily available, but there are other yeast used which can increase the alcohol content a couple of percent, making the content about 15 % +/_ 2%. That is when the yeast cannot survive and dies off. If you want the alcohol level even higher, you can freeze a gallon of your wine. Then suspend the container upside down and let it melt down to about half to 3/4 way. The alcohol releases from the frozen juice before the fruit juice and water content melts. Your alcohol content will increase each time you do this.

I'm more inclined to build a still. Like some good apple pie shine.
Picked up a jar of 150 proof clear when i was in florida and am turning it into apple pie right now.

If you are even thinking about making alcohol you NEED this book! It covers it all. I bought it and it is a great read. Very informative and entertaining. The Alaska Bootlegger Bible.
