Notes:
• The above recipe is a basic recipe of Wine! I bought three different colors of grapes to make 3 different colored Wine.
• For red Wine I used red grapes with ¼ cup of Beetroot Juice.
• For Dark Purple/Blue wine I used dark black Grapes with ½ cup of Blueberries.
• For yellow wine I used yellow and green grapes with ½ cup of apple juice.
Tips:
• You can buy wine kit online or simply use any big gallon size bottle or use milk gallon.
• If you are using regular gallon then use this instruction: – Poke a hole in the cap of the gallon and place one end of the plastic tube (pipe) into it. Run the other end of the plastic tube into a glass of water. This allows the carbon dioxide to escape so your fermenting wine won’t explode, but it also stops the air getting back into your wine.
• For best result use overripe grapes.
