I started this on Wednesday and it seems to be going well. I got the tea bags from Lidl.

Tea bag and supermarket juice wine recipes and methods used to be regularly discussed here but they died a bit of a death a few years ago when cheap kits made it so easy to make wine people stopped messing with tea bags and juice nice to see them brought back from the dead.

I won’t be using anything other than the teabags, sugar and yeast. It’ll be interesting see how it comes out. SG was 1.100.

That looks a nice red colour. Is it just the lighting or is it really that deep a red?

Cheers Tom

i make a cherry apple cider using these tea bags for additional tannin and flavor/ aroma

the aroma is really strong with this. it works great in cider. i have a feeling this would make a great fruit tea bag wine. especially back sweetened with some additional fruit juice,

That looks good. I’m going to see how the current one turns out and go from there. I’m not going to add anything to it. I’ve seen some older mentions of adding a small amount of tea to add tannin, but I’d rather try it in its ‘unadulterated state’ and then think about adding to any future brews I may do.

Just an update - the red berry tea bag wine is still bubbling away in the demijohn. There’s movement in the airlock every 30 seconds or so and it shows no sign of stopping.
