Making Red wine from scratch - simple/brief summary
• Buy red grapes and de-stem them. Discard/compost the stems.
• Crush the grapes and put them in an elevated barrel or container (i.e. this is your primary fermenter) (put it on a bench or heavy stand)
• Add yeast to the crushed grapes (.073 grams of yeast per each pound of grapes) (OR - do not add yeast and just let the wild yeast in the air do the job)
• Cover the grapes to keep the fruit flies out, but do not seal it tightly as fermentation gas must be allowed to escape.
• Let the grapes ferment with the skins…up to 2 days produces a light red wine, 2 - 4 days produces a medium red wine, 4 - 8 days produces a dark red wine.
• As the grapes are fermenting, they will produce a “cap” (the juice will be below and the grapes will be forced above by the fermentation gas), break the cap twice daily, and mix the skins with the juice
• The day before you are ready to rack (i.e. siphon) do not break the cap - leave the cap in tact
• Place a tube in the container to the bottom, and rack (siphon) the juice out
• Once completed, take the remaining grapes from the container and put them in a wine press
• Press the skins to extract any remaining juice. Continue to press until it is very hard - then stop
• Take all your juice and put it into demijohn and fill about 7/8 full. Seal with a cork/airlock combo and put a water solution in the airlock
• After 6 - 8 WEEKS, rack (siphon) the wine out of the demijohn, into another demijohn and fill to within an inch from the top
• After 4 months, rack again, and fill to within 1 inch from the top again
• After 6 months, you can now bottle, or let stand in the demijohn for another year and bottle then
• After corking your bottles, let them stand vertically for 2 - 5 days, to ensure the cork expands back to its original thickness - then you can store it horizontally without any risk of leakage.
• The red wine will be good to drink when it is one year old, and even better at 2 years old
• Store in a cool dark place
• Enjoy
Making white wine
• Buy white grapes, destem, crush and press same day
• Put juice in an elevated barrel or container (i.e. this is your primary fermenter) (put it on a bench or heavy stand)
• Add yeast to the juice (.073 grams of yeast per each pound of grapes) (OR - do not add yeast and just let the wild yeast in the air do the job)
• Cover the juice to keep the fruit flies out, but do not seal it tightly as fermentation gas must be allowed to escape.
• Allow the fermentation to continue until it starts to slow or stop completely (anywhere from 7 - 10 days)
• Place a tube in the container to the bottom, and rack (siphon) the juice out
• Take all your juice and put it into demijohn and fill about 7/8 full. Seal with a cork/airlock combo and put a water solution in the air lock
• After 6 - 8 weeks, rack (siphon) the wine out of the demijohn, into another demijohn and fill to within an inch from the top
• After 4 months, rack again, and fill to within 1 inch from the top again
• After 6 months, you can now bottle, or let stand in the demijohn for another year and bottle then
• After corking your bottles, let them stand vertically for 2 - 5 days, to ensure the cork expands back to its original thickness - then you can store it horizontally without any risk of leakage.
• The red wine will be good to drink when it is one year old, and even better at 2 years old
• Store in a cool dark place
• Enjoy

I have tried this technique in Ukraine, in the Carpathian mountains. A red grape that was growing when I bought the cottage . I found the wine to become sour , and I heard the air reacts with it causing this taste. I have had to crush then quickly put in a air free vat to get anything drinkable

Hey Evo, great video. My Italian grandfather came to the USA about 1910. He worked the coal mines of West Virginia. He would buy new boots every year, use them to stomp grapes then wear them to work. The last thing I did with my father before he died was start a batch of wine. He died a week later. I finished the wine and labeled it in honor of him and shared it with the family. Your video brings back nice memories. Solute’

As soon as I seen that your grandfather came to West Virginia I had to comment. Mine also came to WV from Calabria in around 1908. Mine also made homemade wine. But, I never got to see him make it. But he always made sure us kids got a little taste I miss him and those days I'm 70 years old and I think often about those days. Thanks for bringing back all the good Ole days. God Bless😊

As a home fruit wine maker whose philosophy is "put fruit in a bucket and crush it up", I really enjoy these traditional winemaking videos. Sure I use a little metabisulfite here or there, but the rest I try to keep super simple. It's wine, not open heart surgery.

Evo. God be with you and your family! Thank you for this wine making video. Just fantastic! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I grew up in Welland Ontario. Our St. Mary's parish was like a little Europe. Neighbors were Italian, Hungarian and Croatian. The smells of everyone's foods whet our appetites when we played in the streets in the 60s. My father was from Croatia. Dad, uncles and grandparents made wine every fall. They got their concord grapes from Vineland just outside of St. Catharines, Ont. They brought their wine press and everything from Europe in 1939 on the boat all taken apart. They made their own sausage as well but when I was young I didn't pay much attention (I should have!), so I am so, so grateful for all your valuable instruction. Bon Appetiti!

Ivo, this was a great show! My grandfather, who died before I was born made his own wine. My dad, who used to help him, never continued the tradition. I remember In the sixties there were still plenty of families on our block in the Bronx who would have the discarded, thin wood sided grape crates, out in front of their houses for garbage pick up every fall. That, and the empty crates of tomatoes at the end of summer used for making canned homemade tomato sauce.

@@CookingwiththeCoias Indeed I too, must commend you Ivo, as this is the best video I have seen on KZbin for making wine at home. Many thanks for you taking the time to go into great detail in this video .truly well done! In closing, I have a few questions regarding cleaning the wine press. My dad's old wine press very similar to the one you have (just one notch smaller in size) .. Has been stored in the garage for the last many years. It kind of needs a major cleaning etc ...looks dusty etc and needs a cleaning overhaul. (Note - All parts working & functioning etc) So that is precisely my question...in your opinion Ivo, 1) From a cleanliness perspective, how does one know if it is still good to use again? - how to best clean the wood parts? - and if some areas on the cast iron show slight surface rust, is there a remedy for that? Or is that a deal breaker? Any tips on cleaning/ restoring the wine press ? 2) Also, for regular yearly cleaning after making wine, if you are aware of a good video link that shows how you clean your wine press ..that would help lots. Thank you so much for all your videos !!!

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

@@SS-pi2yi use a brush with some soapy water to scrub your wine press, those hose it down thoroughly - you can also sterilize with a weak metabisulphite solution and it will be good to go - same process for cleaning when You're done. As for the rust, wash/scrub away all the rust, then treat that area using food grade grease...put the grease on with a light coat then wipe off - the remaining residual will protect 👍👍

Hi Ivo I would like to humbly ask you 2 questions if you are okay. I found a white layer of kahm yeast formed on the surface of my wine 2 days after I strained / filter to separate the juice from its skin then I moved the liquid into a bottle in which I filled the bottle up to 75% of its volume. My 2 questions are that is it common / normal to see a layer of kahm yeast formed on the surface of the wine during 6 - 8 weeks storing period before its 1st racking? The 2nd question is that if it happens to the wine during this period, is it harmful and how do you think we should do to treat it?

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

@@yudaaritonang9741 I personally have not had any kahm yeast occur so I would say it's not regular thing, but can definitely occur. Also, hopefully it's not mold (if you had moldy grapes, that could have been the issue) Kahm yeast will start to turn your wine and impact the flavor - I would suggest removing the Kahm yeast (once most is removed, you can "absorb" any residual by using a paper towel. As for treating it, the only thing I would suggest is to add some metabisulphite....even though I always avoid using sulphates, in this case, it could be needed (about a quarter teaspoon per every 6 gallons) good luck and I hope this works out for you 👍👍

[@wmoxam]

Nice video, however I would dispute the idea that sulphides cause headaches. It's high alcohol + high residual sugar that will cause headaches.

[@outdoorloser4340]

Wonderful video 😊

[@petercagnini8141]

Great video this is exactly how I was taught by my Barese father in law. We also never add sulfites due to the fact that the grapes are mildly sprayed with sulfites on the vine. We also made it without yeast and with the yeast. My preference is with yeast.

Wow!! Thoroughly enjoyed this video as l have been making my red wine with 100% Shiraz grapes in Australia EXACTLY the same way. No added sulphates or chemicals. Completely 100% organic grape juice made into a good dry red. No headaches or hangovers. My mates and family can’t believe how good homemade wine can be at a moderate cost to bought wine. I learnt my trade from an old Italian who l helped with some of the ‘heavy lifting’ whilst he was making it. And “Yes,” air is the number one enemy in the wine making process. I loved the idea of adding marbles to top up the volume. I just top up with a bottle made the previous year. In Australia, corks are now rarely used and we use metal screw lids which need to be screwed on tightly so air can’t get in. Thanks for confirming my wine making process is the way to go. Cheers Carlo Sordello 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Well done simple and to the point. Easy for dummies.I believe most of the videos on youtube are intentionally made to look mind boggling to look impressive. I am sure wine making is as old as human say 13000 years after the great flood . Perhaps they never had highly sophisticated machines developed but they still made wine. Good effort well done.

I want to make sure I didn't miss a step. Nothing other than the grape juice and yeast? Great video and you are a natural in front of the camera.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

You are correct, just the crushed grapes and the yeast👍🍷
