Welcome to howtomakewine.com - The blog that shows your our way of making wine from grapes, how to store and age wine and some tips on how to drink wine.
Our story starts with the Wine Vintner's early exposure to fine wines. In my teens I was introduced to the taste of fine wine through travel and immediately developed a passion for the taste of good wine. About 15 years ago I was introduced to a man who made wine at home from grapes. The wine tasted great and had the added benefits of economy and the fact that it was all natural. In this wine making process there are no additives or preservatives. We do not even use yeast. The primary purpose of this website is to show you our method for making wine at home from grapes. The website provides wine making resources with some instructional videos and pictures.
Our wine making system requires a lot of room and some capital investment in equipment. It is time consuming and time sensitive. You may not have the choice to devote as much time to your wine making system so we have included some less involved ways to make wine at home. One way is outlined in a downloadable e-book that we have for sale. We consider Wine Making System - How to Make wine from home, an additional option to the information that we provide on our "how to Make Wine page".
The interactive portion of this website is the 'Wine Vintner's Blog'. Using the contact form you can email us questions and your wine making stories and recipes which we will include on the blog as well. We are hoping to grow our FAQ (frequently asked questions) area over time to become an acclaimed wine making resource.
Other sections of the website address the need to understand wine aging and help you with building a wine cellar or enabling part of your home to act as a wine cellar. We also extended the website to include some tips on serving and how to drink wine.
Please enjoy the pages of howtomakewine.ca and our recommended book should you choose to purchase it. Feel free to engage us with your questions and participate in our blog by using the website contact form.
Sincerely
The Wine Vintner
