This is an easy recipe for homemade wine. You can choose whatever flavor you like but my favorite is the red. You will need a sterile milk jug, a large latex balloon and a rubber band to complete the project. This Wine is a bit stronger than regular table wine. Its great for cooking as well as drinking.

MAKE-A-HOME BALLOON WINE

When I was a teenager, my mother made this wine quite often. It is a sweeter wine, so if you like your wine a little drier, decrease the sugar. I like it just the way it is, and have for many years.

This isn't fine wine, but its homemade, fun and easy. The results will be varied depending on the kind of fruit, sugar content, yeast's fermentation, temperature. This recipe uses juice concentrate, but you can make your own juice from grapes or plums. Don't use citrus.

ITALIAN BALLOON WINE



Italian Balloon Wine image

I made this my Senor year of high school and fermented it in the eves which could be accessed from my front closet on the 3rd floor. I had researched to find it in the library. It turned into "accidental" champaign. Several friends and I enjoyed it before school on the last day of school with strawberries, cherries, crackers and cheese. One friend had a little much...that's another story!!!! Back then the balloon on top was a nickel balloon. I suspect they are more now....you want a good heavy duty balloon. It will be sweet. I don't recommend eating fruit when you drink it!

Tips:

  • Choose the right wine. Not all wines are suitable for making balloon wine. Some wines, such as those with a high alcohol content, will not produce a good result. It is best to use a red or white wine with an alcohol content of 10-12%.
  • Use fresh fruit. The fresher the fruit, the better the flavor of your balloon wine. Avoid using fruit that is bruised or damaged.
  • Sanitize your equipment. Before you begin making balloon wine, it is important to sanitize all of your equipment. This will help to prevent bacteria from contaminating your wine.
  • Be patient. Making balloon wine takes time. It can take several weeks or even months for the wine to mature. Be patient and let the wine develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Making balloon wine is a fun and easy way to enjoy delicious homemade wine. By following these tips, you can make a batch of balloon wine that you and your friends will love. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
