This wine making recipe yields easy homemade wine. You can choose whatever flavor you like, but my favorite is red. To complete this project, you will need a sterile milk jug, a large latex balloon, and a rubber band. This wine is a bit stronger than regular table wine and is excellent for cooking and drinking.
Ingredients
- sugar: 4 cups
- frozen juice concentrate - any flavor except citrus: 1 can (12 fluid ounce can, thawed)
- active dry yeast: 1 pack (.25 ounce pack)
- ½ quarts cold water: 3 piece (or as needed)

Stages of cooking
-
Gather all ingredients. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
-
Combine sugar, juice concentrate, and yeast in a 1-gallon jug. Fill the jug the rest of the way with cold water. Stir or shake well until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
-
Rinse out a large balloon; fit it over the opening of the jug. Secure the balloon with a rubber band. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
-
Place jug in a cool dark place. Within a day, you will notice the balloon starting to expand. As sugar turns to alcohol, gasses will release and fill up the balloon. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
-
When the balloon has deflated, wine is ready to drink. It takes about 6 weeks total. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios
