Wine Making For My Friends
1272 days agoI have been thinking about making wines for a while now. I have always wanted to make wines since my younger days when I travelled to Asutralia and New Zealand and saw how they make wines there. Of course, I will not be using wine presses and all those, but most likely, it will be using Wine Kits or just fresh juice. Heard that it takes a lot of patience to make a decent wine. Most wines needs to be racked and racked again for about 1 year or so before they are drinkable. Yes, there are “6-weeks” wine kits available out there too, so I should be trying them out too.
Anyways, I will be making most of the wines for my friends. I think if you use a wine bottle, it will look very presentable as gifts. In fact, you can easily make it look like from a commercial wine from some winery in Australia with just a wine bottle capsule and some very nice labelling. And from what I see from the stores, the price for the cheapest wine you can find is about S$20 or so. I think I can make about 34 bottles of such wines with about S$180. Well, that doesn’t include the equipment and accessories like wine corker and so on. Still, that’s a lot of savings!
What do you guys think? It is now legal to make wine in Singapore and this should be a very cool hobby. Who would have thought that you could be making your own wine in Singapore and giving them away as presents. Furthermore, you yourself could be enjoying a cup of wine now and then. And enjoying fine wines doesn’t need to be in the domain of the rich anymore.
