Can anyone of your readers provide me with a simple receipe of making wine at-home please?

Answer 1

Buy vinifera (wine) grapes from a local vineyard or wine shop. For reds: Destem and crush the red grapes, put into a container big enough so you have it only 2/3 full. Add wine yeast, available at your local wine shop. Stir 4 times daily until the cap (seeds and skins) drop to the bottom on the container keep the temperature around 70 degrees and all you see is juice. Press this and place the pressed juice and 50 grains of potassium metabysulfite into a carboy or container with a lid that lets you use an airlock. Be sure the carboy in FULL, oxygen is bad for wine, it makes it very nasty. After this has settled for 2 weeks and there are no bubbles coming up the air lock, rack adding another 50 grains of potassium metabysulfite (take off the top) the wine into another carboy or container. Be sure your containers are FULL, oxygen is BAD for wine and will make it go Nasty, so don't let oxygen get into the wine. I can't say that enough and be sure ALL of your equipment is CLEAN, DONOT and I mean DONOT use BLEACH of any kind it is also very bad for the wine. Clean with HOT water, 180 degrees is best. When the wine has settled the second time you can just let it stay that way for awhile, put it into an oak barrel, or add oak chips to the carboy - for weeks or months and when you are ready, bottle it. Be sure, very sure that the temperature is no higher than 60 degrees during this time, very important to wine in the bottle too.

Whites: Buy vinefria (wine) grapes from a vineyard or wine shop and destem, crush and press them. Put the juice in a carboy and fill 2/3 full - NO FULLER it will bubble over and you'll have a mess everywhere! Add your yeast, stir good, put on an airlock and let it ferment for 2 weeks or so, on until there are no more bubbles coming into the airlock. Then rack the wine into another carboy and let set with an airlock on it for another week or so. If you want to add oak chips or put it in an oak barrel now is the time but be sure to fill it to the TOP, oxygen is bad for wine, you will have nasty wine! You can bottle when you think it's ready.

Good luck - you can find this information in a book called 'Home WineMaking'.

Answer 2

They sell kits for making your own wine.

Google "wine making kit"

I did it once, with some chardonnay grapes (at least that's what I think they were) growing in my back yard. I still went to a local store that sold beer and wine-making supplies and got the rest of what I needed. Even the yeast is a special kind for making wine.

Answer 3

Get some wine grapes, not table grapes.
Varieties such as:
Cabernet Savignon, Merlot, Cabernet Fran, etc for red
Chardonney, Muscat, Savignon Blac, Pinot Gris, etc for white.

1st you need to "crack" the grapes in a holding tank and add yeast.
Let them ferment for 5 to 7 days.
Then press the must and store in barrels for the 2nd fermentation for 6 months to a year.
Rack them a few times to get rid of sediment.
Transfer them to bottles.
You may want to "polish" the wine with filters before transfering them to the bottles for clarity.

Then drink
