Although fruit wine contains alcohol, its content is very low compared with liquor, beer, and wine. Fruit wine in glass bottles is drunk by many adults as a soft drink after meals or before going to bed.
Fruit wine is a low-alcohol wine fermented from fruit. It not only tastes refreshing, but also is rich in vitamins and antioxidants, which are good for the body. There are many types of fruit wine, such as apple wine, perry wine, wine, strawberry wine, peach wine, plum wine, etc. As long as it is your favorite fruit, it can be used to make wine.
Good fruit wine should be clear, without sediment and suspended matter, giving people a sense of clarity. The color of fruit wine should have the unique pigment of the juice itself, and the clear glass wine bottle can well present the color of the fruit wine. For example, red wine and bayberry wine in glass bottles are mainly dark red, white wine is colorless or slightly yellow, apple wine is yellow with green in the glass wine bottle, pear wine is golden yellow, kiwi wine is amber, and mulberry wine is purple.
Glass bottles are the best containers for brewing fruit wine. They can ensure the purity and safety of the wine and can also facilitate the observation of the fermentation of the wine fruit. We produce and wholesale glass wine bottles of various sizes and shapes for selection.
Steps to Make Fruit Wine in Glass Bottles
The steps of making fruit wine are not complicated. You can easily make delicious fruit wine in glass bottles by following the following method:
Material preparation
Step 1: Wash the fruit and remove the peel and core. Cut the fruit into small pieces and put them into the glass bottle, occupying about two-thirds of the space of the glass bottle.
Step 2: Add white sugar. About 200 grams of white sugar should be added for every kilogram of fruit. We can also adjust the amount of sugar appropriately according to the sweetness of the fruit.
Step 3: Add yeast. About 5 grams of yeast should be added for every kilogram of fruit. We can also adjust the amount of yeast appropriately according to the type of fruit and our preferences.
Step 4: Stir evenly with a spoon to mix the fruit, sugar, and yeast thoroughly. Then rinse the spoon with clean water to avoid residual substances.
Step 5: Put an airbag on the mouth of the glass bottle and fix it with a rope. Then use a needle to poke a few small holes in the airbag so that the airbag can breathe, but do not let air or dust enter the glass bottle.
Fruit wine fermentation process in glass bottles
Step 6: Place the glass wine bottle in a cool, dry, ventilated place and start fermentation, avoiding direct sunlight or high temperature.
Generally speaking, the fermentation time takes 15 days to one month, depending on the type of fruit and the activity of the yeast. We can observe the changes in the fruit and airbag in the glass bottle to judge the progress of fermentation. When the fruit becomes soft and rotten, the airbag becomes swollen, and there are obvious bubbles and wine aroma in the glass bottle, it means that the fermentation is complete.
Step 7: Filter the fruit wine, filter the fruit and wine in the glass bottle with a filter, and separate the clear fruit wine. Pour it into another clean glass bottle, seal it with an airbag again, and let the fruit wine ferment for the second time. This step can increase the alcohol content and aroma of the fruit wine, and can also remove some impurities and residual yeast.
Generally speaking, the secondary fermentation takes 7 to 15 days, depending on the type and flavor of the wine.
Fruit wine packaging process
Step 8: Put the wine into an empty glass bottle, and use a funnel to pour the fermented wine into a small glass bottle or jar and seal it. They can be stored in a refrigerator or a cool place and can be enjoyed at any time. We can also add some honey, lemon juice, vanilla, etc. to the wine to increase the sweetness and aroma of the wine and create a different taste.
