Does anyone here make their own wine? I've done it before using fruit juice and brewer's yeast. All started when I went to get some grape juice from the fridge, and when I opened the cap it smelled like bread and deflated a little. When I drank the grape juice, it was a little fizzy. Tasted pretty good.
I mix the juice with some yeast and maybe some sugar, then I put it in a bottle with a swing-cap. Each day I vent it a little so the bottle doesn't break from the pressure. The first week I have to do it multiple times, but after awhile the carbon dioxide production tapers off. My mom actually likes the wine I make, and she even liked the cranberry wine I fermented once.
Hubby used to make his own beer but that's about it for him, it was my dad who was the wine maker he loved making it, parsnip wine was one of his favorites.
Parsnip wine? Interesting! I've made wine from red grape and cherry juice before. It was pretty good.
