This is an adaptation of a recipe by B.C.A. Turner.
It is a very simple and cheap recipe but I was sufficiently impressed with the end result that I would like to share it with you all.
1 litre carton Del Monte 100% pure orange juice.
1 litre carton Tesco’s pure pressed white grape juice.
1¾ lb sugar.
1 tsp nutrient
G.P. yeast
½ tsp tannin
1 tsp glycerine
Water to 1 gallon
Stir all the ingredients into 3½ pints cold water till sugar is completely dissolved.
Top up to1 gallon, check initial S.G. which should be about 1.090 and adjust if necessary.
Ferment as usual under air lock. Rack at 1.000 and add 1 crushed Campden tablet plus potassium sorbate.
Clear as per usual and bottle, the wine is ready for immediate consumption but will improve with time.
Serve this medium dry wine slightly chilled. It has a pleasant fruity nose, an attractive orange tint and good mouth feel thanks to the added glycerine.
