Home winemaking

  Hi friends!  

Today we are reporting on home winemaking. We are very spoiled by the abundance of fine wines in the shops. What about creativity and hard work? Today we will see how and what the old-fashioned do homemade wine or grape juice Odessa.

In Ukraine, the direction of winemaking is very developed. A lot of sun and heat contribute to the cultivation of grapes of different varieties. Only in Odessa there are about five plants for the production of wine. Ukrainian wine is in demand in other countries.

In modern times in the villages and cities of Ukraine residents are engaged in the preparation of homemade wine and juice. It is an environmentally friendly product without various preservatives. This craft is well developed in Ukraine. Grapes are not only a delicious product, but also protects from the burning sun in the summer. Therefore, many yards are covered with a thick vine in the form of an arch.

The autumn harvest time has come. In the yard at uncle Sasha, a very old white grape. This variety was very common in the Odessa region and not only. Uncle Sasha has 60 years of white grapes!!!

The grapes are old, but the grape juice or wine is very tasty! The grapes are first plucked and washed. Some don't.

Then they get historical devices that are more than 50 years old.

The devices were made by the father, uncle Sasha in the factory "kislorodmash" with my own hands!!!

The first device is a thresher. Washed grapes are thrown into it and ground.

This is what remains after the first stage of the grapes.

Then what's left falls under the press. The press is shown below.

Homemade press

Devices old, but perfectly cope with the task

Press strongly presses the grapes and get pure grape juice!

This is what remains with the grapes after the press. Some once again allowed under the press and get a second grade of wine

Pure grape juice

And here is the grape juice is moved into the bottle. In glass or in an oak barrel grape juice should settle. All the sediment will fall down. It turns out super natural product! In the store you will not find this!

In order to make grape juice, not wine, squeezed juice should also settle for a few days, then it is a little processed on fire and rolled into jars. Usually even sugar need not promoted, so as juice so very sweet.

Thank you for attention! Report on the life is very nice to shoot, to learn a lot! And today we have seen how to make homemade juice or wine Odessans with their own hands. The resulting juice passes into the hands of his wife for further processing. The result is grape juice for the winter and a little natural white wine.
