Mead - Honey wine

Straw wine - wine made from raisins

Failed wines.

Water Melon wine has a strong smell of watermelon and tastes awful.


The process of wine making





Step 1: Extract juice of Fruit or crush fruit to a pulp. Add sugar and water to desired taste and consistency. Add 2 teaspoons of yeast for a bottle of wine.

Step 2: Store it in a can with a hole on the top. Cover with a rubber glove to see fermentation take place. When the gases in the glove subsides the first fermentation is over. You can cover with a cloth if you run out of gloves but then the process is not so well exhibited.

Step 3: After the first fermentation pour in to containers and store in a fridge. Pour out in to different containers a couple of times to get rid of sedimentation.

Step 4: When the wine has cleared typically in a couple of days. Pour out in to a glass and enjoy! Cheers.
