  • Grapes - 5 kg
  • Cloves - 75 g
  • Cinnamon - 100 g
  • Nutmeg - 10 g
  • Wormwood - 15 g
  • Dry ginger - 10 g
  • Hot capsicum - 8 g

Method of preparation:

  1. Pour all the spices into a mortar, mash well, and collect in a cloth bag.
  2. Wash the grapes, separate them from the branches, and squeeze the juice out of them.
  3. Pour the finished juice together with the cake into a previously prepared wooden barrel, and put a bag of spices on the bottom of it.
  4. Be sure to move the barrel to a cold, dark place for 1 month, where the wine will ferment well.
  5. Then pour the wine into glass bottles.

2. Homemade white wine from grapes

Ingredients:

  • Grapes - 10 kg
  • Sugar - 3 kg

Method of preparation:

  1. Wash the grapes well, and disassemble them so that there are no twigs.
  2. Then squeeze out the juice, pour it into a suitable container, and leave it for 5 days.
  3. After the time has elapsed, be sure to strain the juice through cheesecloth, pour it into a glass bottle, and add sugar if you want dry wine – you can leave out the sugar if it is sweet – add it based on your taste.
  4. Close the bottle with a water stopper and leave it for 3 weeks at room temperature to start the fermentation process.
  5. You can determine the readiness of the wine by its color – if the wine brightens and a natural sediment forms, carefully strain and bottle it, and transfer it to a cool place.
