and to those who have helped me with the construction of this portfolio.
Special thanks to Miss Philana Roberts-Peters for guiding me through this topic and ensuring
that I retained what was taught , Thank You.

Introduction
Myself , Jonathan Rajak has now completed the topic on : Wine Making
Winemaking or vinification is the production of wine, starting with the selection of the fruit, its
fermentation into alcohol, and the bottling of the finished liquid. Winemaking can be divided
into two general categories: still wine production (without carbonation) and sparkling wine
production (with carbonation – natural or injected). Red wine, white wine, and rosé are the other
main categories. Although most wine is made from grapes, it may also be made from other
plants..
This topic has been very interesting and very useful as i now know how to cultivate my own
wine. I found this topuc very interesting and can see myself using these techniques in the future,
I truly enjoyed this topic.

Define the term : Wine
Wine is an achoholic drink made out of the fermented juice or various fruits. Sugar is conumed
by yeast and converted to ethanol and carbon dioxide, releasing heat in the process.

Define the term : Filtering

Filtering is the process wherey fermented fruit juice is passed through a screen to sieve all
unwanted leftover chunks and particles.

Define the term : Refining

Refining is the process of improving the quality of your wine by removing substance impurities
or unwanted components through techniques such as distillation , filtering and chemically
reducing test.

Define the term : Bottling

Bottling is the last step in the process of wine making. Bottling is simply putting wine into
bottles getting them ready for sale or letting them further age then selling them.

Define the term : Distilling

Distillation is a process that increases the "alcohol purity”. Distillation is a process of heating
wine to a boiling point and then condensing the vapor to create a concentrated form of the
original liquid. The process was originally developed as a way to make wine safe to drink by
removing impurities that could make it spoil.

Identify Three (3) types of wine
THREE TYPES OF WINE : Red Wine
Rose Wine
White Wine

Select One (1) type and give a fruit suitable for setting that type
of wine.
Red Wine – One fruit suitable for setting red wine is Plum.

Set a local wine and give the recipe used.

APPLE WINE WAS SET
Recipe:
4kg Apples
2 lbs. of sugar
2 tbsp. Yeast
2 tsp. lemon juice
1 stick cinnamon
Pulverize apples.
Drain the apple juice into a plastic or glass jar with enough space for fermentation. Then, stir the
apple juice, the sugar, the yeast nutrient, and the lemon juice to acidify.
Wait 24 hours. This step helps to prepare the liquid for fermentation and kills bacteria or other
nocive microorganisms.
Sprinkle the wine yeast over the surface of the juice and stir gently. Close the fermenter and
install an airlock on the top to evacuate the carbon dioxide. Allow this must to ferment for 5-8
days.
Once the wine has cleared completely, siphon off the sediment again then bottle.

Process of setting my local wine:

- Ingredients and utencils

- Pulverizing apples

- Water added to processed

Apples.

7
 - Yeast and sugar were added

- Cinnamon stick and lemon

Juice added and poured into
Container

- container was air sealed

8
Filter and Refine your local wine explaining the procedure used
to complete this task , show evidence of sterilization of your
bottles , equipment and materials used.

- Boiling water used to sterilize containers and

Equipment

- refining equipment and container being sterilized

- wine is poured into a new container over a

cheesecloth to ensure all impurities are filtered out and pure wine is left to be refined.

9
 - wine is pressed out of the cheesecloth.

- wine is refined ,sealed and put in a dry environment

to start the aging process

10
Bottle your local wine , show the process of sealing your wine
bottles and labelling your wine bottles.

- Wine is removed from aging container for easy

transfer to bottles

- bottles are filled using a funnel.

- two bottles of wine were filled and sealed.

11
 -labels were then printed and placed on both bottles of wine

- wine was displayed with front and back labels

Reflection
Much was done on this topic and I am deeply satisfied with the outcome of the teachings carried
out.
There are no comments needed for me to add on how to improve the teaching system. I am
satisfied with the content and progress covered and captured with this topic. Leaving and moving
on to another topic can be hard but it it with great confidence that I can say Miss Philana
Roberts-Peters has done a good job. Thank You.
