White wine has been produced for at least 2,500 years. White wine has been praised by poets, writers, painters, and singers. Used as an aperitif, enjoyed with meals, desserts, or as a refreshing drink between meals, it makes an interesting addition to the daily diet. White wines are also perfect for cooking thanks to their acidity, aromas, and ability to tenderize meat. You can make homemade white wine yourself—just take a look at our recipe!
Notes
Recipe for light white grape wine
Preparation:
Separate the fruit from the green parts, place in a fermentation vessel, and gently crush. Add Pektoenzym, mix thoroughly, and leave covered for 24 hours. After this time, press out the juice and transfer it to a demijohn; top up the must with sugar syrup (water + sugar), nutrient, and the selected wine yeast or a yeast-and-nutrient kit. Leave to ferment. After 4 weeks, rack the wine off the lees and adjust its taste. You can also measure the sugar concentration with a saccharometer. Sometimes the wine requires further sweetening or acidification. In that case, add sugar or the acidity regulator Kwasomix. White grape wines are ready to drink after as little as 3 months of aging.
Enjoy! ...because homemade is better!
