Though some water contains dissolved minerals that might just taint the wine. To be honest; unless you have a great deal of iron in the water; I would not bother with distilled water.

IT IS DISTILLED. Tap water has too much other stuff in it. The distilled water is a whole lot cleaner. If you use tap water the wine will not taste as good as you think.

When I was a kid and we did not have distilled water we simply put water in a bucket or container for a few day and then siphoned the water off the top leaving the bottom inch or so as undesturbed as possible. The sediments and harder elements would sink to the bottom. This is a hokey way to do it, but it's better than nothing ...

If your well water tastes good-no off smells or taste, then use it, but you may want to boil it first and let it cool to reduce the chance of bacteria.

Makes great tasting wines, if you're worried about the sedaments in your water, they should settle out naturally during primary fermentation and most certainly during secondary. But as others have said, if your well water is high in iron, sulfur or any other odd tasting stuff, I'd stick to distilled. I use my well water, though it is filtered before coming into the house.
