Thought I’d give a go at making some wine from red grape juice after using up most of the produce from my allotment.
Bought 6 litres of juice from Asda (2 for £3.50). Keeping one litre bottle back to add to my next batch of blackberry wine.
Recipe
5L red grape juice (1.070 OG)
340g sugar ( to bring to 1.0965)
1/4 tsp citric acid
1/4 tsp tannin
1 tsp nutrient
1 tsp yeast
Initially I only put 4.5 litres of juice into the demijohn with the other ingredients. 1 week later added the remaining juice
Racked 20 days later
Now day 43. Wine is fruity, but not overly sweet. Fresh tasting/bright. Not a lot of depth but pretty decent. I have another DJ made a week later to a similar recipe but with 1/2 tsp acid & 1/2 tsp tannin. It will be interesting to taste the difference.
