Overview

Wine is one of the most treasured and revered of all of the alcoholic beverages. Whether you consider yourself a seasoned wine expert or a novice, wine is truly a luxurious liquid. With the ever-growing popularity of at-home brewing kits for wine lovers, it's no wonder that making your own wine at home has caught on as well. Making wine is actually pretty easy, with the right stuff, equipment, and sanitizing again and again. You'll need to procure some equipment and some chemicals but don't worry, most of it will last many batches with the proper cleaning and maintaining. If you can follow a simple recipe, you can make wine. You can make it in the tiniest kitchen apartment. You don't need much specialized equipment. You don't have to be Italian or French or a chemist. You just need a sense of adventure, curiosity, and patience. Since wine comes in a number of different varieties, you can also try to make different types on your own at home. Each type of wine may take a few different steps or the time it takes to ferment completely may vary. You can make wine out of anything, even vegetables, so the possibilities are endless. Most people, however, usually use an apple or grape juice base. Fruity wines typically take four to five weeks to make. Another type of wine is called a mulled wine, which is similar to a cider. The difference is that this wine is made with extra additions like cloves and spices and has a heartier taste. The difference between white wine and red wine comes from whether the skins of the grapes are on or off the wine when it ferments. If you make it at home, you can choose to use red or white grape juice. Chardonnay has more of an apple undertone, and a cabernet sauvignon will usually have elements of blackberry or other rich, dark berries. All in all, most homemade wines take a minimum of three weeks to no more than six weeks to ferment
