Red Wine Directions
1. Prepare the Grapes
Wash the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Remove the stems and place the grapes into a large fermentation vessel.
2. Crush the Grapes
Using your hands or a grape crusher, crush the grapes until the juice is released and mixed with the skins.
3. Add Ingredients
Pour 5 cups of water over the crushed grapes in the fermentation vessel. Add 1 cup of sugar and 1 tsp of wine yeast. Optionally, add 0.5 cups of oak chips.
4. Ferment the Mixture
Cover the fermentation vessel with a clean cloth and leave it in a cool, dark place for about 7-10 days, stirring daily.
5. Press the Wine
After fermentation, press the mixture to separate the liquid from the solids. Transfer the liquid into a clean glass carboy.

Allow the wine to ferment for an additional 4-6 weeks, checking the specific gravity until it stabilizes.
