    Here are the basic steps for making homemade wine — simple, natural, and inexpensive 🍷

    🧺 Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

    You’ll need:

    • Fresh fruits (grapes, berries, pineapples, mangoes, etc.) – about 2–3 kg

    • Sugar – 1–1.5 kg (depending on fruit sweetness)

    • Water – about 4–5 liters

    • Wine yeast – 1 tablespoon (or baking yeast as an alternative, though not ideal)

    • Lemon juice – 2–3 tablespoons (balances acidity)

    Optional:

    • A bit of cinnamon or clove for flavor

    • Campden tablet (to reduce wild yeast, optional)

    🍇 Step 2: Prepare the Fruit

    1. Wash the fruits thoroughly.

    2. Remove stems, seeds, or bad spots.

    3. Crush or chop the fruit into small pieces to release juice.

    4. Place the crushed fruit into a large, clean plastic or glass container (no metal).

    💧 Step 3: Add Sugar and Water

    1. Boil water and dissolve the sugar in it.

    2. Let the syrup cool to room temperature.

    3. Pour it over the fruit mixture.

    4. Stir well and cover loosely with a clean cloth to allow air in but keep insects out.

    🧪 Step 4: Add Yeast

    1. Add the yeast and stir gently.

    2. Cover the container again and keep it in a warm, dark place (20–25 °C / 68–77 °F).

    3. Stir once or twice daily for about 5–7 days while fermentation starts.

    🍶 Step 5: Strain the Mixture

    After the first fermentation:

    1. Strain out the solid fruit parts using a clean cloth or fine sieve.

    2. Pour the liquid into a clean glass jar or demijohn (fermentation bottle).

    3. Fit a fermentation lock (or balloon with a small pinhole) on top — this allows gas to escape without air getting in.

    ⏳ Step 6: Secondary Fermentation

    1. Leave it to ferment quietly for 3–6 weeks (depending on the fruit).

    2. When bubbling stops, fermentation is complete.

    3. You’ll see sediment at the bottom — this is normal.

    🍾 Step 7: Racking and Bottling

    1. Carefully siphon (pour gently) the clear wine into clean bottles, leaving the sediment behind.

    2. Seal tightly with corks or caps.

    3. Optional: Age the wine for 1–3 months for better flavor.

    🍷 Step 8: Enjoy Responsibly

    • Serve chilled and enjoy your homemade wine!

    • Store bottles in a cool, dark place.
