Question:

Can you make white wine by just leaving the juice made by crushed green grapes to ferment with nothing added?

I've seen a lot of white wine recipes, and they all call for acid blend, sugar, pectic enzyme, yeast nutrient, and so on. Can I still make a fairly light to medium wine without all the added ingredients? I can deal with adding sugar, but anything that forces me out of the house to look for specific ingredients can be tossed. Is it possible to make wine like this?

  1. You have to have yeast. And you can make wine out of any fruit. I have a mullberry tree in my yard that makes delicious wine. But sorry, yeast is very important.


  2. Typically white wine is made with Red grapes, not green ones (green grapes are for eating). White wine is made by removing the skin of red grapes.
