Six Benefits Of Making Your Own Wine

Do your snob friends turn up their noses at the mere suggestion of making your own wine? Get theses critics to put their money where their mouth is and conduct a blind taste test. In our own experiments – we find nobody can tell the difference between homemade wine and commercially produced wine. Here are six more reasons to consider making your own wine:

Saving’s. Did you know when you buy a bottle of wine at retail (with your hard earned after-tax dollars) that a large percentage of the purchase price goes to various taxes and levies? Sour grapes indeed. Why not get great tasting wine for 1/4 to 1/3 of what you’d pay at retail?

Fewer Chemicals. Homemade wine contains less than 1/5th the preservatives of commercially produced wines. Many people react to commercially produced wines because it can contain up to 350 parts per million of sulphites. Homemade wines tend to contain less than 75 parts per million.

Drink Wine -It’s good for the environment! When you make wine, you sterilize and re-use your bottles over and over. This means less landfill or energy used to recycle your used bottles.

Easy peasy. Making your own wine is easy. Consult your yellow pages or Google “winemaking stores” in your area. The process requires two visits: the first to mix your ingredients (5 minutes) and the second to bottle the finished product (15 minutes).

Wine is good for you. Certain doctors say that drinking one or two glasses of wine per day will help promote a longer life and a stronger heart.

It’s a fun hobby. Get involved in producing your own beverages. There is a pride in consuming anything you make yourself. Your friends will be impressed! Serve your homemade wine at your house parties. You can even have wine-tasting or wine-creating parties. Incorporate some fun into wine making by learning with your friends as well.
