Due to the fact that watermelon is 93 percent water, preparing wine from it requires significant costs of sugar and watermelons themselves. When preparing, it is necessary to clearly follow the recipe. To make homemade wine from watermelons, the sweetest varieties of this berry should be selected. When using other watermelons, the taste of the drink will differ in freshness. In most cases, strong sweet wines are made from watermelon. These berries should not be used to make table wine - the products will be hopelessly spoiled. Watermelon fruits are washed, skin is cut, bones are removed. You should also get rid of white watermelon parts. Grind the purified watermelon in a blender or simply with your hands, and place the resulting juice in a prepared glass bottle for fermentation. We fall into a container of sugar at the rate of 4 kilograms of sugar per 10 liters of watermelon juice. With that amount of sugar, we get dessert wine. The amount of sugar can be adjusted depending on the desired sweetness and strength of the final product. To speed up the fermentation process, a drop of ammonia is added. When the fermentation process comes to an end, the wine is filtered and bottled for storage. The color of homemade watermelon wine can change depending on the storage time: from pinkish to red.
