Winemaking
Red wine contains up to ten times more antioxidants than white wine. The secret of red wine is also the compounds that fight free radicals responsible for cellular ageing. The flavonoids found in red wine protect against atherosclerosis and blood clots. They counteract the oxidation of bad LDL cholesterol and prevent platelets from clumping together, thus preventing blood clot formation and stroke. The powerful antioxidants in red wine destroy the free radicals responsible for coronary heart disease. The presence of tannins, on the other hand, promotes the proper functioning of the digestive system. Red wine drunk with meals increases saliva secretion and digestive enzyme production, as well as improves blood circulation. Drinking red wine (in moderation!) is therefore a great way to prevent many diseases. To find out how to make red wine yourself, take a look at our recipe!
Recipe for homemade red grape wine
Preparation:
Separate the fruit from the green parts, crush them slightly, add pectolytic enzyme (Pektoenzym), nutrients and yeast. Leave everything covered for 3-4 days. Afterwards, press the juice and pour it into a demijohn. Complete the batch by adding sugar syrup (water + sugar). Leave it all to ferment. After 3-4 weeks of fermentation, decant the wine and adjust its flavour. You can also measure the sugar concentration using a sugar meter, as wine may sometimes require sweetening.
