Wine making process can be explained in a simplistic way. First the barrels of grapes are squeezed to form pulp which is allowed to go through a process called fermentation after which you will get the real wine.

Making wine an art is simple for people who have patience and are interested in the process of making wine. On the other hand, if you take up making wine and have no interest in it at all then you will probably create the wrong results. The wine making process nowadays has become simple and there are many different wine making options available. But it us up to you to make the wine making process an easy one or a difficult one.

Make sure to plant your favorite or desired fruit you would like to use for your wine making process. If your fruit or berries are at the time where they are ready to be harvested make sure to harvest them right to protect your fruit. Harvesting time for your fruit or berries will vary depending on the fruit that you are using because no one fruit or berry may have the same harvesting time. Every fruit has it’s own maturing time from when it is ready for harvest. And remember, there will be times when you are producing your wine where you will need to know the fruits acidity content and sugar levels because these could play a role in what steps you’re going to have to take next in making your wine.

Now in order to start your wine making process the first step is to juice out the aroma and flavor of the berry by crushing it with the help of some equipment or as old tradition will tell you can always just use your feet. After extracting the juice from the berries you will have to boil them, then they will undergo a soaking process. You can follow any number of ways to do this.

Once you have harvested your fruit you will be able to just about calculate the number of gallons of wine you may produce. For an example a rough calculation the people normally use is, to make 5 gallons of wine you will need 50 pounds of ripened berries. You need these types of calculations for your wine making process in order to extract your delicious home made wine.

When making your own wine, wine making tools could be very useful and sometimes required. As stated above, crushing the berries with your feet has been a long tradition when making wine at home. Some people however, prefer to use the newest in technological advances because it makes this step faster and easier, not to mention cleaner.

Once the crushing of the berries is over, then we need to add the wine yeast. Please be sure that you are only using wine yeast and not bread yeast. add the yeast is one of the most important steps to the wine making process. This is how we turn the sugar into alcohol. Once you have put the yeast in with the grapes then we need to let it site for a few days. You will notice during this time that a fizz will start to form. One the 3rd or 4th day, the fizz will start to go away and now we have to separate the juice from all the stems and seeds.

Now it’s time to include the necessary amounts of sugar to your wine for taste and to increase the fermentation process. Then we need to pour the wine into a barrel. Now make sure that no air gets into the barrel because then the wine could rot. In about 2-3 weeks your first batch of delicious wine should be ready. Congratulations!
