Many producers around the world are involved in the production of dry red wine. This wine can have a wide variety of flavors, some of them have a sweetish aroma, others can be tart. If you want to make this drink yourself, you have to work hard.
Splitting up
The first step in the process of making dry red wine is to prepare its main ingredient - grapes. At the first stage, the grapes are placed in a crusher - a device that allows you to gently separate the skin from the berries. Depending on how much tannin you want to have in your beverage, you can also put grape stalks in the grinder.
Fermentation
Place the grapes and their skins in a fermentation vat. The fermentation process is quite long, it can take several weeks. The exact duration of this process depends on the type of wine you are producing, as well as the aroma you want to get. The higher the temperature at which fermentation takes place, the more aromas will be extracted from the grapes.
If you want to get a wine with a mild taste, fermentation must be done in a closed vat. The fermentation process in a closed vat proceeds much faster, this is due to the fact that the resulting carbon dioxide, not finding a way out, creates a high pressure in the vessel. The duration of the fermentation process directly affects the taste of the wine, as well as its color. The longer the fermentation process takes, the more intense the taste and color of the drink will be. In addition to wine from the fermentation vat, you will also need a wine that is rich in tannin. To make it, you need a special wine press.
Re-fermentation
At this stage of making the drink, wine from a vat is mixed with wine from a wine press and placed in a wine barrel. The fermentation process in such a barrel will proceed much slower, but it is he who gives the wine its final properties. If you want real dry red wine, be prepared to age the wine for a year or more. This process gradually lowers the sugar level in the wine, which gives it the necessary qualities.
Spill
If you decide that the taste of the purchased wine suits you, you can bottle it or other packaging and start selling it or consume it yourself. You can also leave it in the barrel indefinitely, dry red wine is one of the varieties of this drink that only improves its taste over time. Remember also that wine already poured in a bottle, if stored properly, also continues to be saturated with taste.
