How to make wine from grape leaves at home

Wine can be made from grape leaves and vines by those who have their own vineyards. But you can also buy these ingredients from summer residents, but in this case you can’t be sure when they were collected, whether the plant was treated with chemicals.

Yeast-free white wine recipe

You will need to take:

10 liters of spring water;
2 kilos of grape vines and leaves;
1 kilogram of granulated sugar;
a cup of light raisins.

First you need to boil all the water in a separate container. Dip the main ingredients previously scalded in boiling water there. Boiling water should cover the entire surface of the plants, leaving no dry patches. Remove from heat and put in a thick, warm towel in the kitchen for three days.

After three days, open the container. The wort should acquire a brownish tint, be sour in taste. If this happens, then the wort is filtered, the vine and leaves are thrown away, the drink is poured into a clean jar. If this does not happen, then wait another day.

Now you need to add granulated sugar. It is taken 1 kilogram per 10 liters of composition. But, alas, it is impossible to accurately indicate the volume, since each vine is individual. The sugar level in finished form should not be less than 21 percent - check with a hydrometer.

Add raisins and ammonia to the drink. They put the jar in a warm place, while it is necessary that light falls on it. Strong fermentation will be noticeable in a day. Constantly check the level of sugar - it should not become less. If this happens, then add more granulated sugar.

You can understand that the wine is cooked by the subsidence of the foam and the change in color to a darker one. Usually you need to wait at least a week.

Wine is bottled. Clog tightly. Gases sometimes descend. Ready to drink when completely clear (but a cloudy must remains at the bottom).
