How to make Wine?

There are many books where you will get the information on wine making. You will find array of wine making recipes for making wine from fruits such as grapes, apples, blackberries or strawberries. But why to consult books when you are getting the information right here…

In the following write up, i have described few ways to make a cranberry wine.

Preparing wine with concentrates can give you an easy and the most uniform way to make remarkable cranberry wines with enhanced flavor. In a very simple way you can prepare the wine from the concentrates. The most important thing one sould keep in mind while making wine at home is the usuage of correct equipments.

The major ingredients needed to prepare the cranberry wine are as under:
1 gallon glass jug, 12 ounce cans of frozen cranberry juice concentrate, 1 1/2cups sugar, 1/4tsp wine yeast, 3/4cup warm water along with container of water.

The equipments you will need are:
A rubber stopper or air lock device for the gallon jug, 12-18 inches of plastic tubing which will fit over the glass tube plus 1 funnel.

Make sure to clean the jugs along with other utensils to get rid of bacteria before you start the procedure of wine making. Otherwise there would be some chances of getting the bacteria into the wine and as such the wine will be spoiled.

Now let’s start the wine making process. Dissolve 1tbsp of sugar along with yeast in 3/4 cup of lukewarm water. Stir the water until the sugar is dissolved. You can cover the container and keep aside for few hours for fermentation.

Pour juice with sugar dissolved in it into a jug. You can use the funnel for pouring the juice. Put warm water and yeast mixture. Place the stopper on the top of the jug. Attach the plastic tubing over end of glass tube. Keep the jug on a warm shelf in basement. Put the container of water next to jug and keep end of plastic tube in water. The level of water should be sufficient to keep end of tube under water. The tube will allow carbon dioxide gas to escape whereas the water will prevent air contaminated with bacteria from entering the jug with wine.

After a month or so, you can observe that the air bubbles aren’t entering the container of water from the wine jug and the juice has become clear. Sediments can be noticed at the bottom of the jug. At this time, you can get a three foot lenght of 1/2 to 3/4 inch clear plastic tubing, take out the stopper and drain off juice into another sterilized jug. Do not touch the sediments as they will be poured down the drain while the jug along with wine should be capped with a screw-on cap or cork stopper. Store the wine in a cool place for around 12 months or more than that and when it ages, you can serve it.

With this process, you will get a tart kind of wine with a nice flavor of cranberry. In place of cranberry, any other fruits like apples, strawberries or blackberries can be used. Making wine at home is a perfect pastime which brings its own rewards.
