In our daily life, we often eat grapes. Grapes contain many trace elements and have strong antioxidant properties. You may not know that in addition to eating them directly, you can also make your own wine. You don’t have to spend money to buy it. It’s easy to do. Today I will learn how to make wine with you.
Step 1
Choose Grapes
The best choice is a tart, dark wine grape, followed by rosé. Other varieties are lower in antioxidants, especially light-colored grapes.
Step 2
Selecting tools and materials
Homemade wine requires finding the right containers and processing tools, well-sealed glass jars or bottles, a home crusher or juicer, oil-free (also use slag), and clean strainers, scissors, stainless steel pans, spoons, etc. In addition, prepare starch and sugar, a small amount of curry (or yeast).
Step 3
Processed grapes
First, carefully cut the grapes with scissors, put them in a stainless steel pot, rinse with water, pour out the water, sprinkle with starch, stir well, and let them stand for 10 minutes. Then gently rub the grapes with the starch, wash them with running water, and pour them into a clean, oil-free spoon to drain the water. This not only removes dust and eggs from the grapes, but also removes pesticide residues from the grapes through the starch’s adhesion.
Step 4
Winemaking
The washed grapes should be crushed in a crusher or juicer with the seeds, which facilitates the dissolution of antioxidants and allows for particularly fast fermentation. Pour the crushed grapes into a glass jar or pitcher, add sugar in the ratio of 500 grams of grapes to 75 grams of sugar, then add a teaspoon of brewer’s yeast or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, seal the mouth of the container and leave it for 20 days, then open the lid to deflate, and then open the lid once a week to deflate.
After a month and a half, you can strain the grape skins and seeds through a strainer. At this point, the liquid is pureed grapes, no water has been added, and the wine is a delightful aroma!
