Ingredients
Wine Base
Equipment
Preparation
1. Prepare Grapes
Wash the red grapes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Remove the stems and any spoiled grapes.
2. Crush the Grapes
Using a clean and sanitized fermentation vessel, crush the grapes to release their juice. You can use a potato masher or your hands for this step.
Fermentation
3. Add Ingredients
To the crushed grapes, add the sugar and water. Stir well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
4. Add Yeast
Sprinkle the wine yeast over the surface of the mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the yeast.
5. Seal and Store
Cover the fermentation vessel with the airlock to allow gases to escape while keeping contaminants out. Store the vessel in a dark, cool place (about 20-25°C or 68-77°F) for about 1-2 weeks.
Bottling
6. Check Fermentation
After 1-2 weeks, check the fermentation process. The bubbling should have slowed or stopped. Taste the wine to ensure it has reached your desired sweetness and alcohol level.
7. Siphon into Bottles
Using a siphon, carefully transfer the wine from the fermentation vessel into clean, sanitized bottles, leaving some space at the top.
8. Seal the Bottles
Seal each bottle with a cork or cap. Store the bottles in a cool, dark place for aging.
