How to make wine...


October 25, 2007

So I know I am supposed to be learning how to make wine. I haven’t got the whole process down yet. I seem to be away from the house when they are making the wine. But I will share with you what I have figured out so far. First you harvest the grapes from the vineyard, duh. Second the grapes go through a press which is this hand-crank conveyer belt that sits over a large metal drum that is line with plastic. The grape juice and grape guts then stew in their juice for a period of time. Next you use a strainer and pitcher to pour the juice into another container. This is the only part that I have actually helped with. Then at a later date you have wine. What else do we really need to learn about this process?
