Nope, just a screw top plastic bottle. I followed the instructions from a couple of different tutorials but I missed the part where they said they shook the bottle daily

I always use a 5 litre water bottle or a demi-john with an airlock, you can just leave it to merrily ferment away on it's own. I have seen people put an uninflated balloon with a small pin prick over the top of the bottle, it allows the air to escape safely.
I don't think 2 weeks is much fermentation time, my blackberry ferments for at least 6 weeks.

Do you think it needs shaking up each day? Maybe I'll leave it a bit longer.

Can you see it bubbling?

No, it’s not bubbly at all

I don't think it's fermenting it would be fairly lively if it was and you would be able to see the bubbles at the top, almost like when you have a fizzy drink.

Make sure to let out excess gass every few days, and strain the dregs out with cheesecloth when it's finished as they are pure ethanol and can cause blindness

The method I used is to leave the lid slightly undone to let out the excess gas so I should be ok there … maybe I'll just give the lid more of a turn every couple of days just in case.
Oh ****, I saw something mentioned about blindness from home made wine but it sounded too scary so I decided to ignore it Ok, I'll be sure to not drink the dregs.

If you want to perfect this,
also
pour the "finished wine" through cheese cloth one or two times when it's complete.

How do I know if it worked? It tastes like grape juice still

Unless you're necking methylated spirits, you should be fine.

I think I’ll only be necking some 0% grape juice tbh

Maybe you should dump it. Don't risk getting sick.

I tied making berry wine once. Used a big glass fermentation jar. Came home one day to find the thing had exploded. There was berry wine on the walls. There was berry wine on the ceiling.
