Strawberry wine - the taste of summer in your glass

"Wine is the drink of the gods," they say so often. Wines are different, but the most popular and common are white, red, pink and sparkling wines. They are also divided into fortified fortified, dessert and classic (lungs).

The fact that wine is made from grapes is also considered customary, but there are also fruit and berry drinks, for the preparation of which, for example, plum, cherry and even strawberry can be used. It's about what strawberries are like, how they make it, and we'll talk today.

What is it - strawberry wine?

Obviously, for the preparation of this alcoholic beverage everyone uses a favorite strawberry. However, this happens rarely enough, only some manufacturers are engaged in making wine from strawberries and make it more often sparkling (which is not to everyone's liking). You can find it in a large supermarket or a specialized store, but this does not mean that you will not be able to cook it yourself. The taste of this home-made wine is very delicate and unusual. Typically, a similar drink is preferred by women, although before the aroma of ripe berries the man can not stand.

Strawberry wine. Recipe

Of course, when the season of strawberries begins, you want to eat it only fresh, but closer to its end, we start cooking compotes, jam and jams. And here comes the strawberry wine that will warm you up on cold winter evenings and remind you of the sunny summer. Consider the easiest and simplest recipe.

To make homemade strawberry wine, you will need the following ingredients:

• Strawberry - 1 kg;
• Sugar - 1 kg;
• 0.5 liters of water;
• A bottle of vodka (0.5 liters).

First we'll do strawberries: it must be cleaned of the pedicels, washed well and dried on a paper towel. Next, the berry should be rubbed through a sieve or crushed in a blender with sugar. You can put the gruel into a pan for fermentation (you can put it in a usual large saucepan, but it's better to use a special bottle), fill with boiling water (0.5 liters) and put it in a warm place for 5 days, so that the mass will properly wander. After this time, gently through a sieve or gauze, strain the mixture. In the resulting wine pour the vodka (it is better to choose its good quality, since the final taste of the product will directly depend on the vodka). Soak for a couple more days - and the strawberry wine is ready for use!

Strawberry and strawberry wine

If you add a little strawberry to the strawberry wine, it will become more astringent, it will acquire a specific bitter taste and an indescribable aroma! You can prepare it by analogy with the above recipe, but instead of a kilogram of strawberries take only 600 grams, the remaining 400 grams replace strawberries. Carefully refer to the choice of berries: they should not even be slightly rotten.

Just like in the previous recipe, grind the berry mix with sugar and pour boiling water. After decanting the resulting wine, add 0.5 liters of vodka and let stand a couple of it.

Strawberry wine is a wonderful drink for gatherings with girlfriends for intimate conversations. It preserves not only the aroma and taste of berries, but also all its vitamins and nutrients. But, of course, do not forget that everything is good in moderation, even if it is a drink of the gods! Have a nice appetite and good mood!
