1: Set big pans of water on to boil, ready to sterilise the bottles.
2. Pick grapes (fogot to take photo of this, doh!).
3. Wash feet & tread grapes.
4. Put buckets of squished grapes into press (we pressed white (green) grapes first).
5. Collect juice (this is the juice from the red grapes)!
Don’t forget to taste it!
6. Pour boiling water into bottles to sterilise.
7. Strain juice into pans & heat to sterilising temperature (86 degs C).
8. Boil corks to sterilise.
9. Pour sterilised juice into bottles and cork.
It looks as though you’re doing things on a massive scale, but it looks good!
We made 93 bottles!
Great images! How was the wine on the end? After crushing the grapes, did you ferment it first before pressing it?
