Wine
Homemade wine is a drink with a sweet and sour taste and a strength of 10-14%. To increase the strength, you can additionally add alcohol, but such a drink will no longer be considered wine.
It is necessary to responsibly select and prepare the container. It is desirable that it be made of glass or non-oxidizing materials (enamelled or stainless steelware). Cooking wine in plastic containers is also not recommended, because. this material, in reaction with alcohols, can spoil the taste of the finished product.
Sterility of containers is a prerequisite at all stages. Everything is carefully cleaned with soda and steam sterilized.
A sweet preparation, even fermented, from any berry can be used. The main thing is that there is no mold. Such a product is not suitable for making a wine drink.

Wine from jam
All ingredients are mixed only with wooden objects. Contact of wine with metal is unacceptable.
In order not to affect the safety of the finished wine, it is better not to add granulated sugar when bottling. If necessary, add sweetness to the finished drink, add sugar immediately before use.
Yeast used for baking is not desirable for making wine. We need a special yeast called wine. They are able to process sugar into alcohol, as well as preserve the unique aroma and taste of the drink. They can be bought ready-made. They are called cultural. Or make your own wild yeast.
Below it is proposed to consider the ways in which you can freely make yeast and wine.

Leaven

Wild yeast in the form of a white bloom
The skin of almost all berry fruits is inhabited by wild yeast.
But there are types that are best suited:
- grape
- raisin
- raspberries
- strawberry
- currant
- plum
- apples
Raw materials are collected in the morning and evening. The weather should be calm, dry (at least a day after rain). Fruits are selected not rotten, not blackened and always without mold. If raisins are taken as raw materials, it is better to buy different varieties at once in several stores. Not all raisins may be suitable, because. it is often treated with chemicals for storage, which kills the yeast.
You also need water (clean, not chlorinated), granulated sugar and a liter container.

Homemade jam wine
Cooking:
- The container is sterilized
- 0.1 kg of unwashed fruits are poured into a container, kneaded
- 0.6 l of water is poured (20-350C)

The sourdough is not filtered if it is added to the juice with pulp. You need to strain when mixing with pure juice, because. the thick part does not apply here.

Leaven
In the presence of a fermenting wine drink, especially one prepared with cultural yeast, the following method is applied:
- Take a half liter jar

Wine sediment also contains fungi
The necessary fungi are also found in the wine sediment.
According to this method of preparation, wine yeast is obtained in dry form. They can be stored for a long time.
Cooking:
- The wine sediment is spread over a shallow container in a thin layer and dried. It is important to know that when heated above 350C, fungi die.
