How To Make GREAT Red Wine from ASDA Grape Juice (£7 Recipe) | Easy Homebrew Tutorial

Is it really possible to make drinkable red wine using only cheap ASDA Red Grape Juice? In this video, I take on the ultimate homebrew challenge! I used 3 litres of budget grocery store juice, added simple wine yeast and sugar, and fermented it for 4 weeks to create a full 4.5 litre batch of homemade wine. The final taste test verdict was genuinely surprising! This is the most simple beginner wine recipe you can try, costing less than £7 for the entire batch. Watch to see the full process, the cost breakdown, and my honest reaction to tasting the finished juice wine!

buymeacoffee.com/rainfordsbrewlab  I am currently trying to purchase various equipment for The Brew Lab including a juicer, various ingredients, a dedicated camera so Im not using my phone camera and some storage and brewmania for the lab.  Patreon was suggested to me by a subscriber but this seemed easier to set up and a more personal touch.  Please only donate if you can afford to and you have my word it will go to supplying The Brew Lab with further projects. Thank you.
