Step one: Buy grapes. When buying grapes, you can choose some ripe grapes, even if they are scattered grapes, it doesn’t matter. Firstly, these grapes are easy to ferment, and secondly, the price is relatively low. Common grapes, grapes, horse milk, etc. can all be used to make wine.

Step 2: Wash the Grapes Since pesticides are likely to remain on the grape skin, the process of cleaning the grapes is very important. It is best to wash them one by one, then rinse them repeatedly with tap water, and remove the rotten grapes at the same time. Some people who love cleanliness like to peel the grapes and make wine. This is not a bad idea, but it lacks some of the unique nutrients of the grape skins.

Step 3: Dry the grapes. Put the grapes in a leaky container. When there are no water droplets on the surface of the grapes, pour them into the wine jar.

Step 4: Choose a container. The wine jar can be a ceramic jar or a glass bottle, but plastic containers are not recommended because plastic is likely to react chemically with alcohol and produce some toxic substances. endanger human health.

Step 5: Pinch the grapes and put them into the container. After washing your hands, pinch the grapes directly. The operation method is to grab a handful of grapes and hold them firmly, then put them into the wine jar, and then put the sugar in On the grapes, the ratio of grapes to sugar is 10:3, that is, 3 pounds of sugar should be added to 10 pounds of grapes (for those who don’t like sweet food, you can put 2 pounds of sugar, but you must put sugar, because sugar is an important factor in grape fermentation) .

Step 6: Seal and preserve. Seal the wine jar. If it is a ceramic jar, you can go to a shop where you buy rice wine and order some wine mud. Add water and seal the jar. After sealing, the wine jar must be stored in a cool place. Do not flip or open the lid at will.

Step 7: When the weather is hot, the grape fermentation time takes about 20 days to a month. Now when making wine in this season, the fermentation time takes about 40 days.

Step 8: After unsealing, after observing that the grape skins have turned white, you can use two layers of gauze to filter out the grape skins, grape seeds and other impurities.

Step 9: Let the wine ferment for the second time. The filtered grape juice is put into a container for secondary fermentation. This period of time also changes with changes in ambient temperature, and generally takes 15-30 days. Also note that the container cannot be sealed to avoid an explosion.

Step 10: After the second fermentation, it is ready to drink. A wine that is slightly astringent, slightly leesy, sweet and sour was born. Note that if you like your wine stronger, just delay the unsealing time. After unsealing, don’t forget to close the lid of the wine jar each time you scoop out the wine to prevent the wine flavor from evaporating.
