Make Home made Sweet Quality Wine Quickly!

Plus points:

  • You can make this wine within 7- 10 days
  • Just make it right at home with basic ingredients
  • Who says you need Concord grapes for your wine? Use any fruit and it will taste great!
  • No artificial ingredients, so fear not and have fun this Christmas!

Let’s get started!

Special Instructions:

  • Make sure all your cups, spoons and vessels are dry. 
  • Wipe them all clean as water will spoil the wine 
  • Here my cup measurement equals 235 ml of liquid
  • Use the same cup for all the measurements.

What you will need:

1 gallon or 16 cups of apple juice or apple pulp

4 cups of white sugar

1 packet of yeast or 2 1.4 teaspoons 

1/2 litre of water

How to prepare:

  • Now here if you use apple pulp, just blend chopped apples with a little water and keep aside.
  • Take a large porcelain bowl or glass one, add the pulp, sugar and mix well.
  • Then warm half litre water and add the yeast into it. Stir until combined and pour this mix into the fruit mix.
  • Cover and keep in a cool place.
  • Everyday you need to stir this, and keep covered. There will be bubbles and froth in the bowl.
  • Once the bubbling process stops (which stops after 5 days), you can strain into a clean, sterilized glass bottle.
  • Now, leave this bottle in a cool place and do not close the lid tightly.
  • Let the gases escape from the bottle.
  • Keep the bottle untouched for 3 more days. This means a total of 8 days from start.
  • Now chill it for two days and then serve. It will taste wonderful.

No yeasty taste, no bad smell and yes, all in a small wink of an eye!

Try it!

Scribble These Tips Down:

  • If you are using pineapple,  you may need about 1/2 a cup more of sugar
  • If you are using very ripe grapes, you can reduce the sugar to 3 cups.
  • Serve them cold, for that enhances the flavour of the drink.
  • It will not be very alcoholic, as it has not fermented much, but it is good for all.
  • So, this time, quit spending on expensive wines, as this can be enjoyed by people of all aged, young, expectant mothers and even teenagers.
  • Since it does not sit much to ferment, it is quick variant for the classic wine.
