So How to make an enjoyable wine at home, can it really be that difficult, this is an age old art that some class more like blackmagic, but really it is quite scientific, no complex however as the 5 simple following steps shall reveal.

To create an pallatable wine thats easily enjoyed as home you will require 1.2 litres of Fruit (you can just about use any berry), 2 Cups Sugar, 1 Pack Yeast (preferably light yeast – the variety used in baking), 3.9 Litres of Water, a Colander, a Cheesecloth, 4 litre Jug or Container. And you will need to get an oak barrel. You can easily buy one online or from some wineries

To begin melt the sugar by dissolving it meticulously in 1 cup of hot water.

In the second step, we dissolve the yeast in two cups of warm water. The yeast will bubble a little if done correctly.

At the third step you need to combine your blend of cooled sugar-water to the fruit. Making sure you make the mixture as concentrated as possible because, this give the wine around twelve percent alcohol content.

In the fourth step of how to make homemade wine, you add the yeast. You must ensure that your mixture is reasonably cool otherwise the yeast won’t be effective.

Now in the fifth step, you the residual water in the jug.

Here we are at the last stage, cover and place the jug in a dark spot where no sunshine can reach the pot. After couple of weeks or so, you will need to strain the mixture through a colander. In the final step of how to make homemade wine, you decant the wine into the oak barrel and let it sit for a few weeks to age.

It can then be consumed straight from the cask if there is a tap or bottle and put in the cellar for enjoyment at a later stage.

Red or White, Shiraz or Chardonnay, Pinot or Riesling, Carbernet Savignon  or Rose, the choices are endless, then what year should it be, each region varies with the stress on the grapes during the season, blends such as Wolf Blass are also very popular due to their drink now style, they are also very consistent in taste, so a Red Label Wolf Blass today will be very similar next time around, Yellow Label and other Wolf Blass Varieties are very popular now and appearing in many unexpected places.

If you don;t have a cork screw or have seen the price of cork screws, sometimes more expensive than the wine itself, then this may be the answer.

Description: The Bangkok International Wine Fair (BIWF) is Thailand’s first fully-fledged wine show. Our aim is to connect small and boutique wine producers with agents/distributors for Thailand and the wider region of mainland Southeast Asia – a fast-growing market of over 300 million people.

Whether you are a wine producer, importer or retailer, are involved in wine service or other wine-related businesses or the media, the Bangkok International Wine Fair is about discovering new markets, forging new contacts and expanding your business.

Bangkok International Wine Fair (BIWF) is not like other wine-trade events in the region, which have a much wider ranging remit. Our focus is squarely on the Thai market and its neighbours – markets we know and understand – and we are particularly interested in putting niche producers and niche importers together.

Come to make new friends and contacts at the Bangkok International Wine Fair in November 2010, and get your business plugged into one of the world’s most dynamic trading regions.
