Winemaking Lesson 16 - Clarifying. How To Make Wine In Just One Week. Ok, there are tons of homemade wine recipes on the internet. This is the lazy man's recipe that only requires TWO ingredients available at ANY grocery store and your wine will be ready to drink in one week or less. The taste will improve and alcohol content will increase if you let it age longer, but it's not necessary. I presently have some aging in the fridge since 10-29-09 and I tell you, it has a very strong alcohol aroma and a real kick.

I actually don't care that much for wine but like the challenge of making it from such simple methods. It has to be better than Mad Dog 20/20 or Thunderbird or the nasty hooch prisoners make in their toilets. Making homemade wine, or alcohol in general, is simple because of the simple fact that yeast converts sugar to ethanol (alcohol). My attempts at wine making usually took around 7 days, but some people who have tried this method have reported that the fermentation (yeast completely stopped making bubbles) stopped in about 3 days.
