How to make wine from cherries

1. Pick cherries

We must choose those that are fully ripe, and there must be no signs of rot or spots on the surface, otherwise it will affect the taste of the brewed wine and make the taste particularly bad, so the quality of the cherries is very important when choosing cherries for winemaking.

2. Break it down

We first wash the ripe cherries with clean water, then remove the stalks and the cores, find a juicer, and disinfect it. Never use tools and containers made of iron, copper or other metals, and then put the cherries into the juicer to crush them.

3. Proper fermentation

Fermentation means that we need to ferment the sugar in the cherry juice to produce some alcohol and carbon dioxide. In this process, the cherry skin does not need to be removed, and they should be fermented together. In this process, we must control the temperature. Generally, the temperature should be about 15 to 25°. Then use a smaller container for fermentation, so that it can dissipate heat better. Under normal circumstances, the temperature can reach no more than 32 degrees.

4. Press it for juice

We can find a clean gauze or cloth bag, and then squeeze the juice out, and then add some sugar into it. Generally, many people believe that wine made from fruits is sweet, so according to the public's concept, we need to add a little sugar when making wine and mix it. Generally, 12% to 14% sugar is enough. When the sugar begins to melt, we need to use the original wine to stir and dissolve it. In order to make it emit the aroma of wine as quickly as possible, we can add some brandy and pure water to mix it, so that the sweet and sour cherry wine can be brewed. However, if we can let it stay in the container for more than 2 months, this will increase its brewing time and make the taste of the brewed wine more mellow and pleasant.
