I
had shared a Grape Wine recipe without yeast many years ago. This one is a
traditional grape wine recipe with yeast and wheat. Addition of caramelized
sugar gives this wine a nice colour and a subtle smoky flavour too, which my
husband really enjoys. You do not have to caramelize the sugar very dark for
wine as you do for cakes… just caramelize the sugar to light golden colour
otherwise the wine will taste bitter!
