Preparation steps:
1. Remove the stems and leaves of the roses and leave the petals, and soak them in salted water for 30 minutes (pure water is used).
2. Spread out the washed petals and dry them as much as possible (this time takes a long time, you can dry them naturally, you can also use kitchen paper to dry them or use a hair dryer at low setting to dry them).
3. Use dried petals, one layer of petals and one layer of sugar (spread as few petals as possible, so it is easier to crush when rubbing).
4. Grind the petals firmly with your hands to completely blend the sugar and petals.
5. Knead until the sugar and petals are combined. When the petals are completely wilted, you can add red wine. Drop in half a lemon juice, so that the flavor of the roses and the red wine can be better integrated.

In addition, special reminder is that when filling the container with grapes, do not fill it too full. It is best to leave 1/3 of the space. If it is filled too full, it will overflow during fermentation. , or even cause an explosion. The most suitable fermentation temperature for red wine is about 20°C to 30°C, and the most suitable fermentation temperature for white wine is between 14°C and 20°C. The temperature around 27°C is more suitable for making red wine.
The brewing time should not be too short and do not drink it immediately after brewing
Many citizens like to take out the newly brewed wine to give their family and friends a "taste". Some citizens make their own wine. , start drinking within one month of fermentation. "This is actually an unscientific approach." Liu Yazhuo said that the so-called wine made by many citizens now is actually fermented grape juice.

Some wines that have been brewed for one month are very strong and very easy to brew. "Above". Therefore, it is best not to drink the newly brewed wine immediately.
