The idea of making alcohol at home is certainly not a new one. You need only visit a supermarket and you\u2019re likely to see a home brewing kit<\/strong> or two for the beer and ale lovers out there. People love the idea of making something that is completely their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d argue that\u2019s what the entire Italian wine<\/a> industry is built on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it\u2019s a huge global industry now. But way back when, families made wine for the joy of making it. In some cases, they barely produced enough to sell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, even those families needed land, vineyards, and production facilities. These are all things that the average home lacks. While brewing beer at home is often a fairly simple process, making wine promises many more challenges for the person who doesn\u2019t so happen to live in a winery.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

And yet people are doing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, making wine at home<\/a> has become a popular trend<\/strong> in recent years as wine lovers try to stack their talents up against the best in the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the end product isn\u2019t going to reach the same high standards. Plus, you\u2019re going to have to buy a bunch of equipment<\/strong>, plus the grapes, to even get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But let\u2019s say that you want to give it a crack. It isn\u2019t an easy process<\/strong>, by any means. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019re going to share a few tips to ensure that you can make your wines as safely as possible.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Tip #1 \u2013 Start With Grapes or Concentrate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned, you\u2019ll have some wine grapes<\/strong><\/a> to work with in an ideal world. You may need to source these from local producers though, as they\u2019re not the easiest thing to find in stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you don\u2019t already know, regular grapes won\u2019t do the trick<\/strong> when it comes to making wine. They\u2019re specially grown to not have as many concentrated sugars. You need grapes that are specifically grown for the purposes of making wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what happens if you can\u2019t get your hands on those grapes?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where concentrate <\/strong>comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can purchase grape concentrates fairly easily, though you\u2019ll still likely need to go to a specialist store. The issue with them is that even a slightly trained nose can usually tell that the wine doesn\u2019t come from grapes. You\u2019ll get something passable, and maybe even enjoyable. But it won\u2019t match the level of quality<\/strong> that you could achieve with actual grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all depends on what your goals are. We\u2019d recommend starting with concentrate to get the process down. And once you\u2019ve got a bit of experience <\/strong>under your belt, you can move onto wine grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2 \u2013 Clean Your Equipment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We cannot stress this one enough. If you\u2019re not working with clean equipment, there\u2019s a possibility of introducing all sorts of nasty stuff<\/strong> into your wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That extends beyond the general toxins, bacteria, and chemicals, that might collect on your equipment over time. Even uncleaned stains from previous batches of wines can cause issues. If nothing else, they\u2019ll taint the taste<\/strong> of any other wines that you use the equipment to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A solution that makes use of potassium metabisulphite<\/a><\/strong> is often the recommended way of cleaning a home winemaking kit. Make sure you give everything a good clean using the solution. Your goal is to introduce your grapes or concentrate to as sterile an environment as possible so they have the chance to turn into wines with their own unique characteristics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Put it like this. Fermentation <\/strong>is a very precise process that can take years to truly master. If you\u2019re working with unclean equipment, you\u2019re at a major disadvantage from the start. And the likelihood is that any wines you produce won\u2019t taste all that good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They could even end up being dangerous<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3 \u2013 Always Start Small<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re brand new to this. You simply cannot expect to make a huge vat of wine and have it turn out okay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like any winemaker, you\u2019ve got to start out small<\/strong>. Make enough to fill a bottle or two at first. Taste it, figure out what went wrong (because something will go wrong<\/em>), and then try again<\/strong> with another small batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The point is that you want to work out all of the kinks <\/em>in your production method using these small batches. Otherwise, you\u2019ll spend a ton of money on ingredients that end up getting wasted because you haven\u2019t mastered the process yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, starting small gives you a chance to really learn about your equipment. This ensures that you can use it safely when it\u2019s time to scale up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #4 \u2013 Get Creative<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The great thing about making wine at home is that you have no constraints<\/strong>. You\u2019re not looking to achieve DOC certification here<\/em><\/a>. That means you can play around with different grapes and flavours to your heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe you have a few favoured grapes that you\u2019ve always loved<\/a>. What happens if you combine them into one wine?<\/em> You won\u2019t know until you try it. Perhaps you\u2019ll make something that tastes amazing. Or maybe you\u2019ll end up understanding why no other winemaker has tried combining them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whatever the case may be, just have as much fun as you can with it. You\u2019re going to make wines that simply don\u2019t taste that good. But here\u2019s the thing. Even the best producer has been there. They\u2019ve had to learn what works and what doesn\u2019t as well<\/strong>. And they do it by trying new ideas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, you can also try things like adding herbs or flowers<\/strong> to the fermentation process. Perhaps you can emulate the earthy tones that you might miss out on if you\u2019re using a concentrate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Again, you won\u2019t know until you try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Final Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The simple fact of the matter is that no wine that you make at home will be able to replace the best Italian wines on a quality level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you can still have fun with the idea. Why not give it a try yourself?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if it doesn\u2019t work out, we\u2019re always here to offer you an amazing selection of Italian wines<\/strong><\/a> from some of the best producers in the country.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
