subject: What You Can Get From Drinking Wine And Starting A Wine Business [print this page] "When wine is taken at appropriate amounts, it is actually good for our health. Below are some reasons why you should drink wine:
* PROTECTION FOR THE HEART - Drinking a glass of wine a day increases the blood's level of omega-3 fatty acids which help fight inflammation of blood vessels.
* STRENGTHENS YOUR BONES - Drinking wine regularly and in moderation will strengthen a person's bones, especially the hip bone, by as much as 20 percent. Doctors say this is caused by alcohol increasing the estrogen levels of the body, along with other hormones which are necessary for developing strong bones.
* LOWERS THE RISK OF TYPE II DIABETES - Drinking wine regularly helps the body become more sensitive to insulin. Studies have shown that the more a person's body responds to this type of hormone, the less likely he is to develop Type 2 diabetes.
If you're some of those who have a strong fascination for wine, why not make your own? Below are instructions on how you can do it:
What you will be needing:
* a gallon of purified water
* 3 pounds of sugar
* 1 pound of herbs
* lemons, 2 pieces
* 2 oranges
* 4 ounce of dried fruits
* big bottle
* Fermentation lock
* Siphon
* Wine yeast
* Pot
* Juicer and a cooking thermometer
What to do:
The very first thing you should do is to peel the lemons and oranges and extract their juices, then remove the seeds if any. Clean the herbs by removing damaged parts. Use only the stems, roots or leaves. Chop them as finely as possible. Mix purified water, juice, peel, sugar, herbs and dried fruits together in a large pot and stir. Let it boil for about 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, let the mixture cool down. Sterilize the bottle then pour the mixture inside the bottle. This can be strained if desired. Add yeast to the mixture by the time it cools to approximately 110 degree F. One wine yeast packet will do for about 20-30 gallons. When done, you can put in the fermentation lock and fill it with water.
Make sure that you store the bottle in a cool, dry and dark place. Make sure that you check it on a regular basis and see if yeasts have started to develop. You can tell if yeasts have developed if it becomes cloudy. When wine becomes clear, siphon off the liquid, while trying not to disturb the yeast that has already settled. Then make sure you refilll the fermentation and then lock it and return it to its place. This way, the yeast can continue to ferment it. Put it back to the dark place until it becomes clear.
