Christmas Special Red Grape Wine

Wine is the important part of drinks with delicious foods in many memorable occasion or celebration. And when your food has matching wine the dinner will be delicious and colorful. Red wine has an antioxidant called resveratrol which is found in the skin and seeds of red grapes. Both red wine and grape juice do contain antioxidants called flavonoids, which have been shown to increase your high-density lipoprotein (HDL or "good") cholesterol and lower your risk of clogged arteries (atherosclerosis) and also helps to lower blood pressure.

Ingredients:

Black grapes-1 kg
Sugar-3/4 kg
Boiled Water-6 bottles
Cinnamon-2 pieces
Clove- 5 nos
Yeast- 5 gm
Egg white -1

Method of Preparation:

Clean and wash the grapes. Dissolve 5 gm yeast and 10 gm sugar in 100 ml lukewarm water and keep it for half an hour.

Smash the grapes with a wooden ladle.
Add the remaining sugar, water, prepared yeast, cinnamon and clove and stir well.

Store in a mud vessel (only up to 3/4 level) and tightly close the mouth of the vessel.

After 10 days filter the wine.
Beat egg white and add to the wine.

Keep this again in the vessel for 12 more days and stir the content once in four days.

Filter it and add 250 gm caramelized sugar to the content.
Dissolve it thoroughly.
Now its ready to use.

PS: To prepare the caramelized sugar, spread the sugar evenly in the fry pan and heat with low flame. After the sugar begins to melt, watch carefully the liquefied sugar is turning from golden to brown, remove the pan from the heat. Over heating the sugar will quickly turn too dark and taste bitter.
