Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to health preservation. When it comes to alcoholic beverages, wine has the best调理 effect on the human body. You can either buy some good wine or make wine at home, which is not only hygienic but also affordable. The taste is also pure natural, and there is no need to worry about preservatives. The method of making wine is not difficult, and it is best to choose autumn to make wine and buy naturally ripe grapes.

1. It is necessary to buy grapes that are naturally ripe, and do not buy grapes grown in greenhouses out of season. And choose purple and red, sweet ripe grapes;

2. Use scissors close to the fruit peduncle to cut the grapes one by one, leaving a little fruit peduncle to avoid damaging the skin;

3. Rinse the cut grapes clean, and soak them in light salt water for about ten minutes to remove pesticides or other harmful substances on the grape skin. As mentioned earlier, grapes with skin injuries cannot be used to make homemade wine, in order to avoid the salt water soaking into the fruit flesh during soaking, affecting the taste of the wine. Then rinse with clean water again, and then drain the water.

4. Pour the grapes into a basin, use your hands to squeeze each one, leaving the grape skin, seeds, and flesh in the basin, then mix them according to the ratio of six catties of grapes to one pound of sugar. If you like it sweeter, you can add a little more, mix well, and then pour it into a clean bottle after the sugar is completely dissolved.

5. Because the summer temperature is high, it usually takes twenty-one days to brew the wine; if the temperature is below thirty degrees, it will take more days to brew. It should be noted that the longer the brewing time, the stronger the wine flavor; after the wine is brewed, the longer it is stored, the stronger the wine flavor. I don’t like strong wine, so even if the temperature is not high, I usually open the bottle and filter the lees after twenty-six to seven days.

6. After the wine is brewed, the grape seeds, grape skins, and fermented fruit flesh should be filtered out, which is called lees. Some people can also use a cloth to filter, just leaving the wine. It should be noted that the tools for filtering the lees must be strictly cleaned and disinfected, so as not to bring bacteria into the wine.
