How to Make Wine from Grapes? The easiest wine to make is Rose. So if this is the first time you are making wine then you should try to start with a Rose. Get grapes to your liking, then squeeze them into a bucket and leave the bucket over the night without doing anything. The next day, press the grapes and extract the juice out of them. If you are starting small then you can just use a colander to separate your juice from the waste. Pour the juice into a bottle but leave 25% of the bottle empty. Cover the bottle with a plastic bag and make some holes in the bag.  The wine will naturally begin to ferment, and this system will prevent undesirable elements from entering while allowing the gas to escape without a problem. Put your bottle in a room which is neither too hot nor too cold and leave it there for 10 days. After 10 days, take a small flexible plastic hose, and move the liquid from your bottle to another smaller bottle using siphon. That way your wine will be filtered properly and not passing along any waste with it. You can divide your wine between a few smaller bottles if you want, just make sure to fill them to the brim. Close the bottles with a plastic: therefore, expect a cylinder or two smaller ones, because the liquid racked necessarily take less volume. Close with a plastic top bound by a rubber band on the neck, because the wine is still fermenting for another 3 months and only then it would "calm down". You can drink your wine after 3 months or wait a whole year to achieve the best results. Its not that complicated, just try it out a few times and you’ll see how simple it truly is.
