  • haters realize we're not making extremely expensive $100+ bottles of wine that you'll find at your upper class restaurants. We're making decent tasting wine for a comparatively low cost to buying bottles of wine at a store. Also it's alot of fun making your own wine and if you produce a REALLY good bottle it gives you a sense of pride. Personally i don't buy bags like this i like to mix different flavors from juices and other means. Makes it more fun : ).

  • seems like alot of chemicals, jus saying

  • My wife and I toured your winery a few months ago. It was a great experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine tasting and the great atmosphere. Looking forward to doing it again soon.

    I've made about 200 gallons of wine. After the initial equipment purchase it works out to a little more than $3.00 a bottle if you use recycled bottles and don't have to buy new ones.

    The wine is excellent and better than $10.00 - $20.00 bottles of wine we have used as a comparison.

    I highly recommend trying this.

  • This is a great souce of information for the beginner wine maker.

    The negative comments are from unhappy or stupid people.

    Enjoy the level of information and make the most of it..

    Don' knock it until you try it. or just keep buying wine from

    the liquer store and keep your comments to yourself.

  • You can't expect to make great wine out of grapes in a box. It's an inferior ingredient. All the tricks in the world can't hide that.

    Wine is an agricultural product and beer is an industrial product. "Concentrated grape juice" sounds like an industrial product, so it will never make great wine.

  • How to make home made wine:

    Buy grapes from the supermarket. Crush them in a blender. Add yeast. Store in an airtight container, with a needle hole at the top. Leave for 15 days. Enjoy!

  • @mbyamukama for 28l of wine you need approx 6.5 kg grapes and 2.5kg of sugar +yeast etc etc........

  • Il vino si fa anche con.....l'uva.

  • :D u should watch my grandad makes wine :) what is thi ? this vid is bullshit .. go to Georgia they'll show u wine making class

  • Sulfite may sterilize bacteria, but it is also harmful to our body:(

  • At 2:37, why do you pour the sanitizer from the bucket back into the bottle of sanitizer?

  • @burnproof21 also, most instructions say to sanitize then rinse well 4 times. You do the opposite in this vid, any reason?

  • all that junk in the wine. why bother to make it yourself . Next you can make a video of home baked bread made from frozen loafs from the market.

  • i think this guy had a little too much wine himself.

  • is anybody else here because they just watched my name is earl? haha "this tastes like beer and kool-aid"

  • Very interesting, another was to do it

  • this guys is a frecking wine making machine!!! Keep up up man!

  • that´s vinegar!! It´s not wine at all !!! hahaha

  • he didnt sterilize his stick that stirred it with, defeating the purpose of sterilizing anything. i used to sterilize all my stuff too, but u cant have everything 100% sterilized anyway so whats a little less sterilization gonna hurt? worst case scenario u wind up with a bunch of vinegar i guess. I make wine because i dont like the way store bought wine taste, ive made one batch from a kit, but most of mine is some blind of muscidine and another fruit like apple that i am bottling today.

  • Awkward? @6:05

  • i like his metaphor .. the recipe thing spreading like wild fire lol.. he reuses the potassium metabisulfite? can someone tell me why?

  • Good video, very informative. There's alot more in wine making that I though there is to it :)

  • Helpful but as a medical professional about to open up my own winery I would not trust any brand name that uses fruit concentrate as well as putting harmful chemicals in the wine making process, even if it means charging more per bottle for all natural wine, you CANNOT sacrifice quality for quantity, or else we are all drinking garbage like Gatorade

  • He poured six gallons of juice into a five gallon bucket?

  • i got close but i could not smell it

  • Its against the law to make good wine in the united states. If you try to buy imported wine in the united states you will find that it has been opened and additives were put in to make it bad. If you buy wine, only buy it in Europe. e5.00 can buy you a very good bottle of wine overseas. You can drink it all night and wake up feeling great.

  • Great video! We're just starting a kit at home and this is great advice. Thanks!

  • AMERICAN SHIT !

  • I would like to follow in your footsteps here in Washington state, can you help me understand what I need to do to get licensed? Is it different for each state? I didn't know you could do such a thing on such a small scale, thanks in advance! And thanks for the video!

  • i am italian and this is shit tbh

  • You remind me of the detective from otis

  • i am making sub for this for my homework.. but i cant understand.. bentonite is a clay what.? can someone help me.?

  • that couldnt be done without plastic, right?

  • sonoma valley what.?

  • this is how to make kool-aid

  • Comment removed

  • this is bullshit

  • if you want to make bitter nasty ass wine like you buy at the liquor store then buy this kit. if you want a delicious sweet wine just get some real fruit, some real sugar and make your own. if you do a little research, you'll find that its fairly easy to make and very cheap. the kit this guy is selling is WAY overpriced and contains a bunch of bullshit chemicals you dont need. whenever i drink alot of store bought wine, i get hangover. when i drink alot of homemade wine, i feel like a viking!

  • Do you need to stir the yeast into the mixture? I noticed you didn't stir and left the yeast on top of the mixture before closing the lid! Thanks

  • This seems like a waste of money. Harvest some grapes and smash them, they already have yeast on their skins.

  • @donnyperish I'm assuming you are not a wine connoisseur and you drink mostly for the buzz.

  • @donnyperish im making wine from scratch myself... way more fun if it turn out good.

  • @donnyperish That won't work at all if you're trying to make the wine taste anything like brand-name wine. You will get a mildly alcoholic grape drink with "wild" yeast, but understand people have spent hundreds of years, and billions in scientific research to breed strains of yeast for specific characteristics. And you can grow and harvest the yeast yourself, after getting some.

  • thank you....that was very helpful.......but three years?? I just started making home made wine, and get anxious waiting one month........well, thats why a good Champayne cost so much I guess..........

  • Wow that's not even necessary @cowboy300spr

  • Мдаа, поредната американска простотия

  • Lakeland Winery makes wines from Kits, juice concentrates, fresh juice, and fresh grapes and fruit. We also pay hundreds of dollars annually to be licensed by the NYS Liquor Authority. Some of you have cast disparaging remarks about the taste of wine made from a "Kit" without trying them. The cost per bottle is far less expensive that the same wine purchased at a Liquor Store.

  • wow this andy guy is awesome, He turns water into funk!

  • F**k the wine give the shit ur on man ur moving fast as he'll hook it up

  • @cowboy300spr What the fuck are you talking about, you stupid nigger faggot?

  • Thanks for the great upload, I'd like to add if i may that an air lock is not exclusively to contain the juice from bacteria in the air. The reaction that takes place between the yeast and the glucose found in the sugars of the juice must react anaerobically, meaning without oxygen in order to produce the ethanol necessary for wine. Had the reaction had access to oxygen, a very different more vinegary output would occur.

  • forget the wine, I'd just drink the grape juice. I LOOOVE grape juice. Wine just makes it sour =[

  • wwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to hard

  • I'm trying to make wine from rhubarb grown in my garden. Not really sure if this video has helped much.

  • made in BASF Mannheim Germany.....only Natur..

  • correction , Should not bemaking wine from kit and calling themselves a winery.

    Many good friends have enjoyed an assortment of these wines I have made. From Amerone to barrolo, Zinfendel, Chards etc. Never one complaint.

  • Wine making for most is a hobby. It involves learning, experimenting and waiting for the end result. Not everyone can, or wants to crush grapes, or go threw the involved process of making " real wine" as some of the comments suggest.

    I agree that a Winery should be making wine from kits, and call themselves a winery. However, derrinlaird, and tommigun, its not hootch, and not blasphemy. Wha is has been for me, is a good hobby. And I have served it to good friends who enjoy good wine.

  • All I can say: American way!

  • @Mcklauzic hmmm, he is Canadian. I'm American and grow my grapes. I like the old American attitude of being 'self-reliant' as Emerson would say. Not everyone wants to grow grapes or can grow the grapes they want to drink.

  • nice loads of chemicals lol

  • i hope you sanitized your stuff for longer before...i let my stuff sit in boiling water and sanitizer for 4 hours to kill everything

  • I've been making wine for about 6 years now. I've made wine from grapes, from juice, from fruit, and from these kits. Wine expert makes some very good kits. Someone said "all you're doing is mixing ingredients" and "its very expensive hooch". That's not true at all. At the very least, you learn how to make wine. and when you're done, it ends up costing about 3 to 6 dollars a bottle, depending on the wine you're making. I think the Wine Expert Cabernet is some of the best wine I've ever had.

  • cool vid and very informative

  • how dare your calling yourselfs a winery? you dont even know what you r talking about. all u r doing is dumping a whole bunch of ingredients in a bucket and in the wrong order at the wrong time . what u r making is some very expensive hooch. please dont be foolish and get these kits when u can get everything u need for a fraction of the price they r charging and with some reading and u can actually make something really nice. i would not even give this stuff to a bum.

  • @derrinlaird theres always one..

  • it is a blasphemy of the real wine product procedure,which is more difficult and depends a lot of knowledge,equipmennt and time.so if you don't want to learn or if you don't have time buy a nice bottle of real wine or drink a beer.please don't drink this thing.it's not wine!

  • ..hey, you can use grapes too, to make wine...))

  • Go to Costco, buy Neumann's Own grape juice (4gal). Dissolve 12 cups of dextrose or sucrose in about half a gallon boiling water. Let cool (mixture should be about 22-25C). Combine sugar water, juice, 17 gm DAP and 2gm energizer. Aerate mixture vigorously for 20 min. Apply vapor lock to the primary fermenter and wait two weeks. Siphon off the wine into secondary vessel being careful to leave the lees. Wait two months and bottle. Wait two more months. Drink up cheap.

  • @gojira1968 what is 17 gm DAP and 2gm energizer??

  • @diesel5355

    I wrote gram as "gm" instead of "g". Sorry for the confusion there. DAP is diammonium phosphate.

  • @gojira1968 thanks.

  • If you are going to go through all the trouble buying this box of stuff, what's the point in making it to begin with. It's like buying a model car at the hobby shop after it's already been painted and constructed. All you have to do as the "model-maker" is take it out of the box!

    I like making my wines and meads from scratch. This just isn't for me at all.

  • @gojira1968

    The point of buying juice in a box is for those of us who have a hard time finding the grapes. It's very easy to cut the juice with fruit juices and the sort, or try different blends of different juices. Not everyone has access to the amount of grapes needed to make wine, so being able to purchase the juice from the grapes of those who do grow them is the point. While it is a supply, it certainly isn't a pre-constructed product!

  • @project2501b

    I don't mind making wine from juice. I actually like it because it doesn't take as long for the clarification process. In that respect I think it's superior. I just think this could be done more cheaply.

  • @project2501b

    I don't mind making wine from juice. I actually like it because it doesn't take as long for the clarification process. In that respect I think it's superior. I just think this could be done more cheaply. I only slightly object to people making wine from a kit because it's more expensive than it has to be. It seems like cheating.

  • Well I guess that's why wine bought at the supermarkets tastes so much of chemicals. This wine is not for me!

  • You sterilize the tub and then add germy water?

  • love the shirt combo too! you goofball ha

  • chemistry nerd! haha you mad scientist you

  • This place looks like a meth/wine lab.

  • Doesn't the alcohol sterilize the wine? Is there really a need for the potassium stuff? Just curious.

  • @jmk1a1

    Sulfite reduces or "eliminates" the chlorine. Our water comes from Skaneateles Lake, protected by NYS and Federal Watershed Regulations.

  • @lakelandwinery in other words you can use mineral water and not use potasium sulfite?? (make sure it's a real mineral water)

  • @lakelandwinery I believe the poster was referring to the potassium sorbate. This is not sulfite. It is added at the end if you have residual sugar to stabilize the wine. It is a yeast suppressant.

  • @jmk1a1

    Sulfite reduces the chlorine. Our water comes from Skaneateles Lake, a source protected by NYS and Federal Watershed Regulations.

  • @jmk1a1 potassium from banana peels...its the white part of the peel...i make my own....but im sure you dont need it..

  • eh, fun to make but it is cheating, you could do the same with juice from any fruit and yeast intended for bread and at least, at least! you'd be doing something original and not just following directions. I’ve done this same thing many times, very fun, but I wouldn’t be caught dead making a video about following directions.

  • @Alfonsotropolos

    There's a huge difference between brewer's yeast and bread yeast taste wise. I would not advise anyone to use the same yeast they use to make bread as their wine yeast, unless they want some very disgusting wine.

  • to all the haters....at least this guy is showing you another way you can make wine. A little water doesn't hurt, the final product is what counts, and the right alcohol content. the juice of the grape is the same from a press, the big difference is that you don't have the skins of the grapes which give it character. yes it feels like you are cheating but the end product is exactly the same as the store bought gallon wines. they make it the very same way.

  • This isn't wine making. It's taking pre-packaged ingredients and mixing. All the great tastes from wines come from the subtle differences in the process itself. Something you couldn't get by doing it this way.

  • Yo, I agree totally with your response. If you want GOOD wine then buy it at the store or spend the extra time to do it right yourself. I know it is not magic but an illusion! Oak or any wood for that matter, will allow the wine to age...but the flavor-flav of Chardonnay, for example is derived from oak aging.

    All points aside, this video is of a nervous dude who has done this a hundred times before off camera! Hey, it's as easy as Kool-Aid but will still make the girls drop the panties! No?

  • water....and baked flavors...i am sorry this looks like poor home made wine

  • @Sanji1812 Don't be sorry, a lot of people are disappointed when they realize how a magician performs his tricks. The oak chips are just a substitute for barrel aging, unless of course you have some French Oak barrels sitting around the house. The easiest way to enjoy good wine is to buy it at the store. You probably like to drink White Zinfandel, no?

  • @gunslingerfire This is not magic, its chemistry actually. The point though, is that they pump water to get more volume, next i bet they probably add acid and sugar to control those two as well. I rather have 6 bottles of good wine than 12 of something mediocre. Furthermore, oak barrels, much like in making cognac are used to let the wine breathe through the wood and through this breathing it gets the flavor. Its better to use actual oak pieces and chunks not some baked processed commercial thin

  • please answer me as soon as possible, can i make wine using instant yeast ??

    actually i tried that but the taste was so bad and i did not active the yeast in hot water before i add it to the grape juice, could you answer me plz.

  • Can I use my toilet to make this in?

  • informative but boring.

  • I am stoned right now and I notice things that the people who are not stoned don't. What I notice is. That this company got a new product and they are trying to sell it. And I am willing to bet my dick on it that this is a boss. He is very nervous and a little big-headed. Trying to be funny and important. He uses big wards then has a surprised look on his face. As if he is proud that he got the word right lol.

  • lol thats wat u call wine?? lol thats trash.. i would never drink that shit,,,, i make wine at home only 100 % grapes no water no powders... only grapes...if u want the best then u have to do only 100% grapes not this trash and water powders,..

  • Tried many wineries + did my self but the result is just OK but not even close to real wine.

  • this is geared more toward mass production for weddings or parties as opposed to quality but wine is wine nontheless

  • Cheap, fast.. but the test is not good as a real wine. I tried many brewery..

  • This is not cheap wine, but it is fast and easy to make. Remember, you are making wine from pasteurized grape juice that has had its pH, Acid and sugar perfectly balanced before you make it into wine. Millions of gallons of this style of wine, wines made from a 'kit', are made around the world every year. And it tastes fantastic. Much better than most wines you can purchase in a liquor or grocery store.

  • ??? Not sure if this guy knows what he is doing??? Bentonite is to clear the wine AFTER fermentation. Not sure why you would add it before fermentation. I also would not recommend making wine in a plastic container, even if the container is made for it. Plastic will (no matter what kind) will give your wine a weird flavor. Food grade stainless is good but can still give you an odd taste (most would not notice). Glass is the best by far, or wood if you want the wood flavor which can be favorable

  • Sorry you didn't watch my other videos. I siphoned the wine into glass carboys after 7 days in the plastic primary fermentation bucket. The rest of the time it is in glass. The Bentonite is a natural substance that helps keep the juice particles suspended during fermentation, and helps keep them from settling out. If you don't want to do it this way, then don't. But the instructions for the millions of kits that sell every year tell you to do it that way.

  • Comment removed

  • what are the ingredients?

  • thanks!

  • Andy,

    do you need to stir the juice/wine in between the steps?

  • The short answer is no.

  • Hello Andy, and anyone else who can give advice. Firstly I like these videos, very good guide for someone new to wine making. I am new to this hobby, and will first of all make 6 bottle batches using kits. I want to have a go at making my own from scratch, my question is with regards to the toasted oak in this video which may sound silly, if I were to make everything from scratch could I simply get some oak shavings toast them in an oven and use those to add flavour? Thanks

  • Not a silly question. When done professionally, the barrel makers use an open flame to char the inside of the barrels. So, baking the oak shavings might not be enough heat...try broiling at 500 degrees, or try using a blow torch. Make sure they don't catch on fire!! Turn them regularly like french fries. Enjoy:)

  • @awatkins3 Excellent, thanks for the info! looking forward to playing around and seeing what happens! Videos have been really helpful, thanks

  • thanks for the answer

  • nice video. can i make wine out of pineapple ?

  • You can make wine out of any organic matter, or even just sugar and water. The yeast converts the sugar to alcohol and whatever else you have in there just adds to the flavor. One person made his wine from caterpillars. He said it had an earthy woody taste. Mmm

  • dont waste your money on wine kits. Just use like welches 100% grape, cherry, blueberry or whatever. Makes great wine without spending a crapload of money on wine kits. Wine kits are good but expensive.

  • @mmilby Does that work? Have you tried it? The grapes used in Welch's are a different species than those used in traditional wine making?

  • @Cgriff512 YES is does work, you can use any juice you want as long as it is 100% juick and/or does not have any preservatives like potassium sorbate in it. I've used grape, white grape peach, passion fruit and a few others to make wine out of. I have wine videos on youtube where i make it out of honey. Any questions, feel free to ask.

  • just for the beginners like me, you can go slower right?

  • i seen my grand pa and my grand-grand pa making wine but they just made it out of pure grapes its an excelent wine(Romanian Recipe)

  • for how long should the CO2 be produced for? i am making wine, and after only 3 days there is no more CO2 being produced... is this normal? / what do i do lol?

  • Purchase a cheap hydrometer and check the specific gravity. If the result is less than 0.996, there is enough alcohol and you can proceed with the next step(stopping fermentation and clearing the wine).

  • @SocialNow ... wow thanks alot lol that is alot of good information, and very helpful for my plan to make cheap alcohol. But you said to use CaCO3 to neutralize the acid... well 1. is there an easy way to get this, store bought etc? - or if it is just neutralizing could i just add baking soda powder?

  • I was wondering how safe it is to make wine without a wine kit. I see people on youtube do it with just store bought juice, sugar and BREAD yeast...i dont care the quality of wine this produces but am more concerned with the health issues surrounding this. are there any? Are all the additives seen in this video (potassium sorbet etc) necessary? Also if i were to make wine with juice and sugar, how much sugar should be used, is bread yeast safe, and how much yeast do you need per volume of fluid

  • @qwerty101ize The yeast used for bread is the same yeast that's used for wine. It's all from the species ''Saccharo-myces cerevisiae'' (the name doesn't mean anything other than ''Sugar-fungus in beer''), and the only difference between it's use in bread and it's use in wine, is that with bread it's used because it produces carbon dioxide which makes the bread rise, while with wine it's used because it converts sugar into alcohol.

  • @qwerty101ize and there are also wild yeasts, so those are the types that have not been cultivated (you don't buy them in a store, but they are often already living on fruit on a tree), and these wild yeasts can make alcohol too and basically do the same trick as the cultivated yeast, but the danger is that you don't know it's qualities, so for example wine produced with a wild yeast might end up with a very different pH level than wine produced with a cultivated yeast, and than taste like crap.

  • @qwerty101ize And about the health issues. You don't need all the additives you see, because every wine is produced with a different set of additives and some wines contain a lot more additives than others. In short, if you work clean and as sterile as possible, you won't need more than fruit, boiling water, yeast, preferably some type of conserve/sterilize additive (citric acid), and than later you add CaCO3 to neutralize the acid otherwise you don't wanna drink it.

  • @qwerty101ize ofcourse you store the mixture in some container with an airlock. You can make an airlock yourself, the idea behind it is that carbon dioxide produced by the yeast can escape the container, while oxygen cannot get in. You do this by letting the CO2 pass through for example a glass of water, so the CO2 bubbles escape. As long as you don't notice growth of any weird fungi, or drink the wine while it's super acid, there are no health issues other than those that are alcohol-related :)

  • @qwerty101ize Oh and concerning the quantities you need (sugar/yeast/water/fruit), that also comes down to what you're making, but there are thousands of recipes on the internet and there are also countless books on home wine making. But if you don't care about taste, but only the alcohol, than the quantities of sugar and yeast don't matter that much, just remember that a teaspoon of yeast can easily convert 3 cups of sugar and more, so make sure you have way more sugar than yeast. Good luck.

  • how can I download your video to play on dvd player so i can follow the steps while i'm making the wine?

  • Thanks for the tutorial. It's very comprehensible.

  • I thought the bentonite went in after fermentation.

    I guess you don't need acid blend because all the required acids are already in the wine, unlike when you make wine with store bought grape juice that has only absorbic acid in it.

    Is the toasted oak flavoring tannin?

    I always thought campden tablets or potassium metabisulfite would kill the wine yeast too instead of just the wild yeast and bacteria.

    the Isinglass is similar to pectin enzyme, yet applied after instead of before?

  • The bentonite helps keep the juice particles, etc. suspended during fermentation.

    The 'kit' juices are pre-formulated with the correct amounts of acid, and since it's pasturized there are no wild yeasts or bacteria in the juice. The sulfite is meant to kill bacteria that gets into the juice during fermentation. The Isinglass combines with the bentonite and creates a flocculant that settles out yeast and other juice particles. The toasted oak and other oaks add different oak flavors and tannin.

  • Wouldnt the alcohol in the wine kill off any bad microbes,or is there not enough?

  • Excellent series of instruction into wine making. Easy to understand and very through with the information and recipe.

  • your an idiot its ok most peole are

  • @coronapeacock Umm buddy i have been looking how to make wine and i have noticed every video i go to i see you leaving these rude comments tellng people to add that thing so you dont get sick. Now while i see what you are trying to tell them, you cant expect everyone to do it, peole have their own way of doing things. So need to insult people for no reason, its youtube so its not that serious. lol so chill the world wont end if we dont use camden.

  • @coronapeacock

    wow..... you are uneducated.

  • f you guys dont add Camden tablets you will get sick 110% u need it to kill the yeast off before u drink it !!!

  • @coronapeacock Um, no you won't... If you let the yeast go until it stops, the yeast will be killed off by alcohol toxicity (i.e., the alcohol is too high for the yeast to live anymore...

  • @coronapeacock Your wrong. The alcohol kills the yeast. Camden kills bacteria in the juice and is used to sterilize the containers your using. People have been making wine for thousands of years, I'm sure they didn't use camden tablets back then

  • hey there. thanks for the video. how much is a wine kit cost?

  • Depending on the wine kit, it may cost between $60 and $160.

  • pft this is bulls***. why would you make wine from concentrated grape juice? just buy the wine already made. this isnt real winemaking. ppl are so lazy...

  • @a10fjet You're an idiot. It's not really concentrated grape juice like you find frozen in the grocery store. The juice in the kits is straight from the vineyard. They crush the grapes and then bottle it in kits. It's the same juice that the winery itself uses it, just packaged for the home wine maker.

  • hi real deal wine making guide don't miss this one 100% authentic, tired of people leaving the most important steps out? try this guide i guarantee you wont buy another bottle of wine

  • I thought you are to rinse the sodium metabisulfate out of the bucket? I noticed you did not. Is this a good practice, or does it matter?

  • The 'potassium' metabisulfate removes the chlorine from the delicious tasting city water, so I don't rinse it from the bucket.

  • Can soleone link me to the website of the manufacturer of that juice extract?

  • @JustWonderingHowToDo Search RJ Spagnols or try kits at your local homebrew store.

  • Great job Andy! You take the mystery out of wine making.

  • lol petty....TOM petty....ma nig

  • WTF!!! so all that shit goes into his wine?..yeah i'll pass!

  • Aren't you suppose to let the yeast oxidise for 2-3 days to allow it to multiply to it's full potential? I.e. instead of your airlock, use a cotton ball to keep out contaminants and then after 3 days use the airlock??

  • Thanks for your comment. The primary fermenting bucket isn't air tight, so no need to worry. The first week of fermentation produced a flurry of Carbon Dioxide pushing out from the container, so no air can get into the vessel. When the fermentation begins to slow after the first week then we siphon the wine into an air-tight container. It's really only a problem when the wine has contact with air for several days at a time. Then the wine begins to oxidize and become stale.

  • @awatkins3 Thanks for the reply, I see what you mean...learning curve! Horses for courses as they say! There are infinite ways people do it!

  • im going to make wine so strong that when you see me, you wish you knew who i was before you even thought you knew who i was or how I came to be there. Then you will know exactly where it is i am going and when I'll get there, but by that time i will have drunk the wine already

  • @jamesykt69 how do you keep the wine from "spoiling" ? what preserves it once it is done?

  • @ACTeslaMachineDC tannin helps, and making sure it is not to acidic. But the biggest problem is if any organisms get into the wine and spoil it, so make sure everything is sterilised and use campden tablet when bottling and if using fresh fruit

  • Comment removed

  • thanks god that im a muslem and muslems dont drink wine only you and i dont think the wine is a good thing coz have many many bad effects to our body

  • @mariam784mm First of all, I'm curious... why are you watching this video if you don't drink wine and you believe it's bad for you? Second, wine is really healthy in small amounts, actually. Do some research next time. And fyi it's "Muslim" not "Muslem."

  • @psychomindphlux oooookayyy mr smarty mc smart pants, fyi its "terrorist" not "muslim"
