Materials:
Equipment:
The mature fruit was mashed and peeled. The peeled fruit was crushed and
pressed thoroughly to extract the juice. The extract was strained through a cheese cloth or
a strainer. The one part of extracted juice was added with 2 parts water (1 juice: 2 water).
One cup of sugar was added for every four cups of diluted juice (4 diluted juice: 1 sugar).
The mixture was shookt and stirred thoroughly to dissolve the sugar and it was
pasteurized by heating it to 60oC for 30 minutes. It was then cooled to room temperature
and one tablespoon of yeast was added to the mixture. The mixture was poured into a
suitable container. The mixture was stored in a cool and safe place for 2 or more weeks to
allow fermentation. The mixture was pasteurized and decanted to any suitable container
after fermentation. The mixture was stored for 1 to 3 months to allow appropriate aging
V. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND:
There are also wines made from fermenting other fruits or cereals, whose names
often specify their base. Wines made from plants other than grapes include rice wine and
various fruit wines such as those made from plums or cherries. Some well known
examples are hard cider from apples, perry from pears, pomegranate wine, and elderberry
wine.
Wine has been produced for thousands of years. The earliest known traces of wine
from Georgia (Caucasus) in Eurasia where 8000-year-old wine jars were found and
in Iran with 7,000-year-old wine jars. The earliest known winery is the 6,100-year-
old Areni-1 winery Armenia. Wine reached the Balkans by 4500 BC and was consumed
and celebrated in ancient Greece, Thrace and Rome. Throughout history, wine has been
consumed for its intoxicating effects, which are evident after the normal serving size of
five ounces.
Wine has long played an important role in religion. Red wine was associated
with blood by the ancient Egyptians and was used by both the Greek cult of Dionysus and
the Romans in their Bacchanalia; Judaism also incorporates it in
the Kiddush and Christianity in the Eucharist.

Fermentation is a process used to produce wine, beer, yogurt and other products.
Fermentation is a metabolic process in which an organism converts a carbohydrate, such
as starch or a sugar, into an alcohol or an acid. For example, yeast performs fermentation
to obtain energy by converting sugar into alcohol. Bacteria perform fermentation,
converting carbohydrates into lactic acid.
Alcoholic fermentation converts one mole of glucose into two moles of ethanol
and two moles of carbon dioxide, producing two moles of ATP in the process.
Sucrose is a dimer of glucose and fructose molecules. In the first step of alcoholic
fermentation, the enzyme invertase cleaves the glycosidic linkage between the glucose
and fructose molecules.
Next, each glucose molecule is broken down into two pyruvate molecules in a
process known as glycolysis.[2] Glycolysis is summarized by the equation:
All wines can be organized into four fundamental groups. Within each group
there are hundreds of different grape varieties and also different winemaking styles.
Red Wine
Still wine made with black grapes. These can range from light to dark and bone-
dry to sweet.
White Wine
A still wine produced from green and sometimes black grapes. Flavors span from
rich and creamy to light and zesty.
Rosé Wine
Still wine from black grapes produced by removing the skins before they deeply
color the wine. Also formed by blending red and white wine together. Both dry and sweet
styles of rosé are common.
Sparkling Wine
