Preparation and Fermentation
- 1
Prepare the Grapes
Start by washing the red grapes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.

Crush the Grapes
In a clean fermentation vessel, crush the grapes to release their juice. You can use your hands or a grape crusher if available.

- 4
Add Yeast
Sprinkle 10 g of wine yeast over the mixture. Stir gently to incorporate the yeast into the grape mixture.
- 5
Seal the Vessel
Cover the fermentation vessel with an airlock to allow gases to escape while preventing contaminants from entering.
- 6
Fermentation Period
Let the mixture ferment in a dark, cool place for about 2-3 weeks. Check the specific gravity with a hydrometer to monitor fermentation progress.

Secondary Fermentation (Optional)
If desired, siphon the wine into another clean vessel, leaving sediment behind, and let it ferment for another 2-4 weeks.
Bottling

Prepare Bottles
Clean and sterilize the bottles and caps or corks that you will use for bottling the wine.

Siphon Wine into Bottles
Using a siphon, carefully transfer the wine from the fermentation vessel into the prepared bottles, leaving a small gap at the top.

Seal the Bottles
Cap or cork the bottles securely. If using sulfur dioxide for preservation, add a small amount before sealing.

Label and Store
Label each bottle with the date and type of wine. Store the bottles upright in a cool, dark place for at least 6 months to let the flavors mature.
