Homemade Wine Recipes - Discovering Exciting
Possibilities With New Ingredients

Homemade wine recipes have been around for several years. In fact, for hundreds of years, people
have come up with different types of homemade wine recipes. Wine making techniques improved
over the years, and many of the recipes have evolved along with the changes in the past.

This has given birth to different possibilities in the wine making process. These recipes changed over
the years, with people adding or taking out certain steps or ingredients. With these homemade wine
recipes you can explore almost everything under the sun.

This attitude has given birth to all kinds of variations in homemade wine recipes by utilizing different
ingredients. In order to easily discover a new variation, use any of the recipes you already have only
as a guide.

If you think of recipes as guides and you measure the variables you can, you will naturally find
yourself adjusting ingredients to fit your circumstances.

A simple variation to your recipes that will yield a significant difference is by using alternative
choices in grapes. These are a welcome change from standard grape vintages, and will add a unique
characteristic to your recipe. The four types of grapes I would recommend experimenting with are
Tempranillo, Graciano, Garnacha, and Malyasia.

Tempranillo grapes were brought by Spain to the pilgrims during the Crusades, and give wine a deep,
rich color. Graciano grapes are found more in France than anywhere else. Garnacha is a red grape
that is used most commonly for blending. Malyasia is of the white grape variety, and used in many
wines. Of course this is not an exhaustive list, but it's enought to get you started.

Another option to your homemade wine recipes is by substituting different fruits in place of grapes.
Many wine makers are experimenting with making wine out of fruits and berries. Any type of fruit
will work, whatever you prefer.

Home vintners have long experimented with various fruits with traditional local fruits. If you can
think of a fruit, you can pretty much bet that someone has made a wine out of it.

Delicious homemade wine can be made from many fruits, berries, and other foods. Some that can be
used are blackberries, strawberries, peaches, watermelon, plums, grapefruit, apricots, almonds, apple
cider, pears, pineapples, bananas, cranberries, dates, figs, carrots, cherries, garlic, ginger, mint,
melons, onions, pea pods, honeysuckle, jelly, kiwi, pumpkin, raspberries, sweet potatoes, tomatoes,
and zucchini.

Bland fruit will compel you to add more fruit than the recipe calls for, but even this may not be
enough if the flavor is really poor.

So, if the fruit lacks flavor, spike the must with more flavorful base. This may mean changing the
character of the wine with, say, nectarines or kiwi fruit or fresh pineapple chunks.

As you apply your individual creativity and personality will surely find many, many exciting
possibilities. I would like to be the first to wish you good luck as you discover your new homemade
wine recipes.
