This wine making recipe yields easy homemade wine. You can choose whatever flavor you like, but my favorite is red. To complete this project, you will need a sterile milk jug, a large latex balloon, and a rubber band. This wine is a bit stronger than regular table wine and is excellent for cooking and drinking.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups sugar
  • 1 can frozen juice concentrate - any flavor except citrus , 12 fluid ounce
  • 1 package active dry yeast , .25 ounce
  • 3.5 quartss cold water , or as needed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather all ingredients.

  2. 2

    Combine sugar, juice concentrate, and yeast in a 1-gallon jug. Fill the jug the rest of the way with cold water. Stir or shake well until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.

  3. 3

    Rinse out a large balloon; fit it over the opening of the jug. Secure the balloon with a rubber band.

  4. 4

    Place jug in a cool dark place. Within a day, you will notice the balloon starting to expand. As sugar turns to alcohol, gasses will release and fill up the balloon.

  5. 5

    When the balloon has deflated, wine is ready to drink. It takes about 6 weeks total.
