Fruit wine is a kind of health-care and nutritious wine made from fresh fruit, on the basis of retaining its original nutritional components, through natural fermentation or artificial addition of yeast to decompose sugar. Fruit wine has become a new consumption fashion with its unique flavor and color. Moreover, the brewing steps of fruit wine are relatively simple, and you can make it yourself at home.

Fruit wine making steps

Preparation: white wine, strawberry, lemon, crystal sugar with alcohol concentration above 35%, clean and sealed glass jar.

1. Prepare a bottle of wine with alcohol content over 35%. First, rinse the sealed glass bottle with hot water and hang it upside down on a paper towel to dry. 2. Choose a solid, mature strawberry without broken skin (broken skin will make the wine turbid), carefully pick off the leaf pedicles (because strawberries don't hurt, so you don't have to cut off the whole pedicles as long as you pick the leaves), wash, dry and cut. 3. Peel the lemon and cut it into small pieces for use. 4. Put strawberries, crystal sugar and a small amount of lemon slices into a dried glass bottle in the order of strawberry layer and crystal sugar layer, pour white wine, cover and seal, and store in a cool place. 5. Pick strawberries and lemons in the second to third week, cover them with plastic wrap and keep them in the shade until they are finished.

Starting drinking period: 3 weeks after starting brewing.

The best period: brewing starts after 3 months.

Matters needing attention in homemade fruit wine

1. When taking lemons and strawberries, filter them once with a piece of coffee filter paper or clean filter cloth to make lemons have no residue, and then pour them back into the container and seal them. It's best to put a label on the bottle and indicate the date of brewing, so as not to forget it later. 3, be sure to put it in a cool place, otherwise the wine will go bad!

Fruit selection: when making fruit wine, it is best to choose fresh fruit with no surface damage. Fruit wine should be really washed and dried in the shade to avoid the deterioration of the finished product that has been worked so hard. Try to choose fruit with strong acidity, the stronger the taste of fruit wine.

Selection of container: It is best to choose a sealed jar with the best transparency, so that you can better see the internal situation. Glass products are given priority as raw materials, and fruit wine should be given priority in the brewing process. The capacity of fruit wine in the brewing process is a container full of eight points.

Choice of liquor: Liquor with alcohol concentration above 35 degrees is the most suitable, neither too high nor too low. Too much alcohol will mask the aroma of fruit, so pay attention to alcohol consumption.

Choice of sugar: rock sugar is the best, because rock sugar is the easiest to obtain among all sugars, and the highest purity is not easy to cause discoloration of fruit wine, which can best maintain the original flavor of fruit.

In the brewing process of fruit wine, we should pay attention to the mark of another date and the time of taking out the pulp, so as not to destroy the color, aroma and taste of fruit wine.
