I have one Concord vine which is reasonably productive this year, but the grapes are not ripe enough yet. I will buy more in the Grimsby area in about two weeks.

This is my 2014 effort.

Thirty three liters of juice was made from 90 pounds of Concord grapes.The grapes were picked in Thorold, ON. Grapes were washed, removed from substrate by swiping across a plastic screen, cooked about 15 minutes, beat into a slurry with a hand blender, strained through a food mill, placed in liter jars and pressure canned at 15 PSI for 15 minutes for long term storage. Three liters of water was added to each 30 pounds to thin and to facilitate cooking.Pictures depict the process.fort.

A friend has a vines and brought me over about 12 quarts. If you want, I'll check to see if there is more. Also will check to see if my sis' are concord and are fully ripe yet, if you're in search of more.
