I may never have had tried this without the help of my friend Rehna... She actually is an old hand at making this wine and her mother had been making this wine for decades...
When she said that she would be making it this year, I also wanted to join her and we really had a great time making it, and it also yielded good results.... I have no idea what the connoisseurs would say, but what we got was a sweet and great-tasting wine that could be given to our kids too.
I am sure that I would be making it often. So here is the recipe, that has been passed on in Rehna's family...
Grapes - 4 kgs
Sugar - 3 kg (If you want the wine less sweet, reduce about 250 gms)
Egg whites - 4
Wheat grains - 150 gms ( pulse them in a dry grinder to coarse bits)
Yeast - 2 tbsp (dry )
Water - 4 litres (boiled and cooled)
Five litre jars - 3 nos (to store the wine)
Crush the grapes well. Add all the ingredients into the grapes. Mix well. Pour the mix in the jars only upto 3/4th of the jars because the fermenting will cause the wine to froth over.
Stir daily for 21 days. On the 22nd day, strain and keep in the jars for three more days. On the third day, remove the wine into bottles...
We got about 8 bottles .
Wwoowww beautiful grape wine..
