Wine Making Process
- 1
Prepare the Grapes
Start by washing the Moscato grapes thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Then, crush the grapes in a large container to release the juice.

Fermentation
Add the yeast to the crushed grapes and mix well. Cover the container with a clean cloth and let it sit in a dark, warm place for about 5-7 days. Stir daily.

Straining
After fermentation, strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to separate the liquid from the solids. Collect the liquid in a clean fermentation vessel.

Add Sugar and Water
Dissolve the sugar in a gallon of water and add it to the strained grape juice. Mix well.

Adjust Acidity
Add tartaric acid and sulfites to the mixture to balance acidity and preserve the wine.
