How to make wine from green grapes

Wine is made from grapes. Summer is the season when grapes ripen. At this time, you can store more grapes in the cellar to ferment. After fermentation, the grapes will produce alcohol. This alcohol is very pure and tastes good when made into wine. Purple grapes are generally used to make wine, which will make the color of the wine look more attractive. So how do you make wine from green grapes?

The method of making wine from green grapes and red grapes is the same. Wine made from green grapes is white wine, and wine made from red grapes is red wine.

The principle of winemaking: During the winemaking process, the sugar in the grapes is converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide under the action of yeast, thus becoming wine.

The steps for making your own wine are as follows:

1. Buy fresh grapes

2. Wash and air-dry the grapes (the washed grapes must be air-dried. In order to dry the grapes faster, you can use scissors to break the grapes into small bunches, spread them on clean items, and put them in a cool and ventilated place to dry naturally. You can also use a fan to speed up the drying speed, but be sure not to expose them to the sun.)

3. Remove the stems and crush the grapes (Purpose: 1. Crack the grapes to facilitate contact between the flesh and the yeast on the grape skins, and to allow for thorough fermentation. 2. Do not twist or crush the grapes too much, as this will facilitate the formation of "wine caps (the grape skins on the upper layer during fermentation)" during the first fermentation of the grapes. The wine caps help prevent the original grape juice from being exposed to too much oxygen and oxidized during the fermentation process (theoretically, 20% of the grapes are allowed to be whole and uncracked).)

4. Place the de-stemmed and crushed grapes into a pre-sterilized fermentation container

5. Grape fermentation (During the grape fermentation process, it is best to leave a small hole in the bottle to allow CO2 to be discharged during the fermentation process)

6. Repackaging and aging (After clarification, the wine is close to the finished wine and tastes good. But if you want it to be better and more mellow, you need to age it. Use a small container for aging, because it is best to drink the aged wine in a short time after opening. The container can be a Coke bottle, or an old red wine bottle, etc. The best time for aging is after winter. Because the low temperature in winter can crystallize the tartaric acid in the wine, the acidity of the wine is reduced. In addition, after such a long period of aging, the fusel alcohol substances have basically been decomposed, and the fruity aroma will increase. Therefore, the quality of aged wine must be better and more mellow. When aging, you need to pay attention to full bottles, sealed; low temperature (8-10 degrees is best); dark storage. You can use a black plastic bag to cover it to achieve the purpose of light protection. It is also worth mentioning that before aging and bottling, make sure that all fermentation is completely terminated. Generally, home-brewed wine does not add any preservatives, so if it is strictly operated according to the procedures, and the alcohol content is slightly higher, it can only be stored for about 1-2 years, so it is best to drink it during this period to avoid deterioration.)
