Making wine at home is a pretty easy process. It is commonly presumed that that it is a difficult exotic process. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Making wine is a very absorbing hobby to have. You can use different kinds of fruit. And you can keep getting more innovative and adventurous in your future recipes.

Here`s a recipe to keep your spirits up!

Ingredients:

• Grapes - 1 kg (black or green). With a bit of experience you can use other fruits too.
• Sugar - 2 cups
• Yeast - 1 small packet
• Water - 4.5 litres
• Colander or a huge strainer
• A large container to make your wine in.

METHODOLOGY

• Crush the fruits or blend them together.
• Pour the pulp into the container.
• From the water set aside, take a cup of water and heat it.
• Dissolve your sugar in the hot water. Stir well.
• Warm two more cups of water and dissolve the yeast in it. Yeast tends to froth a bit - so don`t get it alarmed.
• Wait for your sugar water to cool down.
• Add it to the fruit pulp.
• Make sure the yeast mixture has cooled.
• Add it to the sugared fruit pulp.
• Add the remaining water to the container.
• Cover the container well.
• Put it in a dark place where there is no sunlight. The back of a cool cupboard is an ideal place.
• Don`t touch it for the next two weeks.
• Strain the wine through the colander or filter.
• Pour your wine into fresh containers or bottles.
• Let it sit for a few weeks. Store it in a cool dark place.
