If you love wine but it's too expensive to buy at the liquor store, you can make it at home by adding a few basic ingredients to a simple recipe using fresh fruit that has been seeded, peeled and crushed, or 100% grape juice. Save money with wine making and have plenty to go around for your most lavish dinner parties.
Instructions
1. Start the wine making process by separating fruit or juice into parts and adding them to quart-size bottles.
2. Add sugar to each bottle and shake vigorously.
3. Pour warm water and add yeast and sugar into a glass container and mix until completely dissolved. Cover ingredients and place in a dark corner for 1 to 2 hours to allow a thick foam to materialize.
4. Mix a portion of the foam to each of the bottles and shake until completely blended.
5. Secure jars with three napkins and a rubber band or a cork that provides an airtight seal. Place bottles in a dark 70-degree room for about 9 to 12 days.
6. Transfer fermented liquid to new bottles at least 3 or 4 times over several days, taste-testing as you go along.
7. Add potassium sorbate to each bottle, secure with cork or napkins and place them in a 60-degree room until wine is clear and ready to drink.
