Fermented Wine Made Up Of Raisins

II. Introduction

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.

Raisin Wine, from the word itself is a fermented raisins to make up a wine. It is a
wine made up from grapes that have been dried to concentrate their juice. The result is
similar to that of the ice wine process, but is a much older process and suitable for
warm climates. There are also benefits that can be found in the Raisin wine. Raisin
contains eight times more sugar than grapes. The sugar consists of glucose and fructose.
Therefore, raisins are an excellent food in all cases of debility and wasting diseases.
These are also rich in antioxidants especially the dark purple variety as these have large
quantities of anthocyanins which are antioxidants. These antioxidants, along with
vitamin A, can reverse effect of free radicals, or oxidative stress, which often lead to
macular degeneration (Cho et al., 2004). Another important phytochemical found in
raisins is resveratrol. Protection of the genome through antioxidant actions may be a
general function of resveratrol (Shankar et al., 2007) and by inhibiting gene expression
associated with heart and skeletal muscle aging, it prevents age-related heart failure
(Mancuso et al., 2007).

A moderate consumption, such as one glass of wine a day for women and two for
men, may confer health benefits. (Mukamal et al., 2008). Therefore, raisin wine contains
a lot of benefits and is very simple to make.

IV. Procedure
1. Clean your bottle water with warm water to sterilize it.
2. Heat up 1 liter of water in the boiling pan.
3. Dissolve 2 cups of sugar in the boiling pan with water.
4. Using a ladle, mix the sugar to dissolve easily.
5. Let it boil for 2 minutes.
6. While waiting to boil, wash the 1 cup of raisins in warm water.
7. Then, using a strainer, strain the raisins and rinse it afterwards.
8. Put half a liter of your sugar water into the pan.
9. Bring to boil.
10. Add the rinsed raisins into the boiling sugar water.
11. Bring to boil again while stirring all the time.
12. Boil it for 2 minutes and let it cool off.
13. Later on, blend the raisins to a pulp.
14. After blending it, using a funnel, transfer the blended raisins into your 1 liter
bottle.
15. Using a spatula/spoon, scoop the excess raisins in the blender.
16. Add the rest of your sugar water.
17. When at room temperature, add 1 tbsp of yeast.
18. Wine yeast is best, but most normal bakery yeasts also work.
19. Shake well and put it away with the cap slightly open, so that the gas can escape.
20. The next day shake again, but open the cap often so that the bottle does not
burst.
21. Shake it again after 3 days.
22. Leave it up to 7 days at approximately 27 degrees Celsius. The longer it rests the
more flavor and body it will take out the raisins and the better it clears.
23. After a week or more, sieve out the skins and separate the yeast bottom from
the wine.
24. The skins and the yeast bottom of the bottle are put into a cloth.
25. Carefully and steadily pour the clear liquid through the sieve.
26. When the yeast bottom begins to show, pour the rest into the cloth.
27. Let it drop for 2-3 hours to recover the maximum of liquid.
28. Store in a separate bottle to settle. It brings more than 1 liter of good wine.
29. The color you get depends on the type of raisins. You can add some red-purple
food dye to make it to life.
30. After a couple of days you can put some wine overnight into your fridge to clear
quicker.
