Wine Making - Part 1

It is a family tradition in our home, from generation to generation, to make wine. Here is a brief clip that shows us preparing to press grapes that had been somewhat crushed the night before.

thanks for all the great comments. i will post the entire process when we do it this year in September....starting with the buying of the cases of grape and ending with me pouring a nice glass of wine (and everything in between, of course).

@mip Ive made wine from Honey and grapes and I added No sugar or yeast, isn't that how it was done in ancient times?

you will get a better product if you remove all the stems before you press your grapes

dont listien to ccraig91, if you want to make a liquid to wash ur wounds go ahead, but if ur gonna make good wine, do it this method in the video, even though its uncomplete. The grapes should of stayed in the must stage longer, atleast 1 week, it would increase the tannins (health benefits) and would make it a deeper red. Never press the grapes that quickly, you aren't getting the full benefits of the wine.

man, i am going to make wine so strong, that when you think you have met me, it wont even look like me, but it still is me, then you will know where i have been but not where i will be,unless you ask, but i wont tell, becuase the wine i drunk was so strong you did even notice me till its to late

you want a nice easy way to make wine yourself, i will tell you.

Get a empty milk 2 gallon jug. Steralize it with hot water for a few minutes. Get some 100% grape juice from the store and fill it up about 1/3. Then fill the rest up with hot water. Add two cups of sugar and shake it up. then add a packet of yeast and shake it up. Finally get a balloon and make like twenty small holes with a needle and put ito n the top of the milk jug. then let it sit for a month or two. simple and easy.
