how do i get the little bubbles in wine when i make my own wine and bottle it myself?

Answer 1

It's a chemical reactions from the yeast in the wine... you can't really add it, unlessyou carbonate it... and that's not really possible for the home brewer!

Answer 2

There are 3 basic ways to get co2 into wine.

The tradtional is Methode Champenoise - this means you ferment the wine twice. The first time is in an open vat/barrel and the second time is in a very thick walled bottle with a 'cap' or cork. This also requires adding of sugar and yeast to produce the CO2. To clarify the bottle, you'd need to 'riddle' it to get the 'lees' to the top of the bottle. You can then pop the cap, losing a good amount of wine, or freeze (most places use a brine solution) the end of the bottle and then disgorge. You then replace the lost alcohol with a 'dosage' of your choice. This could be anything from red wine to make a rose, cognac, or just some white still wine.

The less traditional way is to do the second fermentation in a vat that is sealed.

The final way is to simply add CO2 to your wine.

Answer 3

a long process............first you need to make the wine, then find bottles that can take the pressure, champagne bottles, if you have stabilised the wine you may have a problem because the yeast may be dead..........anyway..........put maybe 2 teaspoons of sugar into the bottle........add the wine.....use a plastic " cork ", turn upside down and keep around 68F for maybe 3 months, turn the bottle a !/4 each few days.........after perhaps 3 months, carefully open the wine, upside down...chilled.....the sediment should be in the cork.......recork it quickly...........good luck..it is a lot of work :)

Answer 4

Well first you really need champagne or beer bottles, regular bottles are not meant to hold so much pressure. You would probably have to add more fresh yeast, Yeast that can tolerate high ABV or you may be able to add some yeast energizer if your yeast is still alive. Then you would need to add a bit of corn sugar (maybe 2 cups per 5 gal.) to get the yeast going again. Cork them, but you also need to wire down the corks. Wait a few months. chill & enjoy

Answer 5

Hey is you can make your own wine and bottle it youself, you should have no problems finding bubbles.. Even is you do , who cares,, You made the wine,,, Just drink it !! Wheppa - Enjoy

Answer 6

You have to carbonate it, like pop. Then it's called sparkling wine or Champagne. If you have a home wine kit it should tell you this.

Answer 7

IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE FOR A HOME-MAKER
but you can buy a CO2 machine...probably from a restaurant supply chain (you can find them online) it will be similar to the CO2 injectors used for beer taps

Answer 8

only sparkling wine has bubbles, so it has to be carbonated.
