Ingredients
To make this easy grape wine recipe without yeast, you will need: - 4 pounds of grapes (any variety) - 1 gallon of water - 2 cups of sugar - 1 lemon, sliced - 1 orange, sliced - 1 cinnamon stick
Equipment
You will need the following equipment to make this recipe: - Large pot - Large bowl - Mesh strainer - Glass jug or carboy - Airlock and stopper
Method
1. Wash the grapes and remove them from their stems. 2. Place the grapes in a large bowl and crush them with your hands or a potato masher. 3. Transfer the crushed grapes to a large pot and add the water, sugar, lemon slices, orange slices, and cinnamon stick. 4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. 5. Remove the pot from the heat and let it cool to room temperature. 6. Strain the mixture through a mesh strainer into a glass jug or carboy. 7. Attach an airlock and stopper to the jug or carboy. 8. Store the jug or carboy in a cool, dark place for at least a week to allow the wine to ferment. 9. After a week, check the wine to see if it is still fermenting. If bubbles are still rising to the surface, let it ferment for another few days. 10. Once the wine has stopped fermenting, remove the airlock and stopper and replace them with a regular cork or cap. 11. Store the wine in a cool, dark place for another week to allow it to age. 12.

Recipe Tips
- Be sure to use a jug or carboy that is large enough to hold all of the liquid, with some room for the wine to expand as it ferments. - If you don't have an airlock and stopper, you can use a balloon instead. Just poke a small hole in the balloon and stretch it over the mouth of the jug or carboy. - To make sure that your wine is properly fermented, use a hydrometer to measure the specific gravity of the liquid before and after fermentation. The specific gravity should drop to around 1.000 when fermentation is complete.
