Wine Making At Home – What You Should Know

Wine making at home is growing in popularity all around the world and there are a few reasons for this. One of the biggest is the cost to transport wine is going up along with the cost of gas, which raises the cost of wine at the grocery store and wine shops. Lots of people like having a glass of wine after work or with their dinner or just enjoy a glass or two a day just because. But with the price of wine going up many people are looking for new ways to have their wine without the high cost and making their own seems to be that way.

 

Lately there have been a whole slew of guides cropping up designed to help the beginning home wine maker get started. The truth is, you can actually make high quality, award winning wine at home, in a 5 gallon food bucket. All you really need is the know how and the ambition to do it.

 

You'll need some materials and you have to do some preparation. You have to have a hydrometer, a 5-gallon bucket and an airtight secondary fermentation vessel know in the industry as a "carbouy". You will also need some inexpensive airlocks and plastic tubing to round out the equipment.

 

There are also the chemicals you'll need. Yeast, which is not really a chemical but a dormant microbe, citric acid, potassium sorbate, metabisulfate, campden tablets, pectin enzyme and a few others.

 

The big secret to wine making at home is, get the good stuff right off the bat.

 

Did you know that there are vineyards that will sell you small quantities of grapes or even crushed grapes and juices, fresh from their vineyard? That's right. They are hard to find, but they do exist. There is at least one wine making guide that lists these sources.

 

Beside the money you save by making your own wine (you can make wine for about 25 cents a bottle), there is also the joy of making a beverage with your own hands that you can drink. If you make a really good batch, just imagine the praise you'll get from your friends and family.

 

The "Inner Circle of 21st Century Home Winemakers" is by far the easiest-to-follow guide that's out there. With step-by-step videos and e-book guides that speak to you in plain layman's English, this is the program anyone thinking about wine making at home should have.

Grapes into Wine $13.99 As the first to write a basic book in English on winemaking from the winemaker’s point of view, Philip Wagner has long been considered an authority on the subject, and his book American Wines and Wine-Making has become a bible for small producers and home winemakers in this country. Now, in this completely new version of that classic, Mr. Wagner takes into account the many dramatic changes that in recent years have revolutionized the American wine scene.   With the knowledge that comes from his own experimentation, Mr. Wagner discusses the new, successful hybrids that have now made it possible to grow wine-producing grapes in far more areas of the United States than used to be considered feasible. Once again he covers all the basic technical information, including recent developments important to the small commercial winery and to the home producer—from the choice of the right vines to the vintage itself, the care of the new wines, and finally the bottling of the wine: red, white, and rosé, sparkling and sweet.   There is a new chapter on concentrates for the growing number of people who want to make wine but are not close to a source for suitable grapes, or haven’t the space to work with fresh materials. Mr. Wagner describes what concentrates are, how they are made, what the characteristics are of different types, and what to expect. There are specific instructions on procedure and on the necessary (and unnecessary) equipment.   In addition, Philip Wagner’s introductory chapters on the evolution of the wine grape, on European winegrowing, and on the contemporary scene throughout the United States provide an excellent guide for the consumer, as does his concluding chapter on tasting and using wine. Peppered throughout with a wealth of historical and anecdotal material as well as down-to-earth experience—and full of the author’s appreciation of wine and winemaking as a way of life—this book is not only a useful guide but delightful and rewarding reading.
