Product Information

When the wine is clear, it’s time to bottle. Make adjustments if needed, then bottle the wine and wait at least 6 months before tasting.

Age the wine. Allow the bottles to sit for a period of time, depending on the type of wine being made. This will allow the wine to age properly and develop its flavor. To make wine at home, you will need some basic equipment. This includes a fermenting vessel such as a carboy, a hydrometer, a siphon hose, a bottle filler, a capper, bottles, a corker, a thermometer, a stirring spoon, and a funnel.

Concord grape wine can be either sweet or dry, depending on the winemaker’s preference. Sweet Concord grape wines are made by fermenting the grapes with their natural sugars intact, while dry Concord grape wines are made by fermenting the grapes with the sugars removed before fermentation. There are a few options as to what to sweeten your wine with. Plain sugar is the simplest, dissolve the sugar in water at a ratio of 1:1 and it can be dosed into the wine. Another option is to use a fruit juice. Grape juice, for instance, is going to add both flavour and sweetness that may be more desirable than just adding sugar. Glycerine is another option, it’s a liquid polyol that is colourless, flavourless and odourless that tastes really sweet plus it’s unfermentable as well. It’s also sold in home brew shops as wine sweetener as well as some pharmacies.
