You can choose whatever flavor you like, but my favorite is red. To complete this project, you will need a sterile milk jug, a large latex balloon, and a rubber band. This wine is a bit stronger than regular table wine and is excellent for cooking and drinking.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 32 servings 4 cups sugar 1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen juice concentrate - any flavor except citrus, thawed 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast 3 ½ quarts cold water, or as needed Directions Gather all ingredients. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Combine sugar, juice concentrate, and yeast in a 1-gallon jug. Fill the jug the rest of the way with cold water. Stir or shake well until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Rinse out a large balloon; fit it over the opening of the jug. Secure the balloon with a rubber band. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios Place jug in a cool dark place. Within a day, you will notice the balloon starting to expand. As sugar turns to alcohol, gasses will release and fill up the balloon. Dotdash Meredith Food Studios When the balloon has deflated, wine is ready to drink. It takes about 6 weeks total.
