Wine from currants
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. Of course, this recipe is what you'd call a "homemade" one—professional winemakers probably wouldn't approve—but it works perfectly for home conditions. If you don't have a press, barrels, or pre-prepared starter culture, then this blackcurrant wine recipe is just right for you! It works well with black, red, and even white currants. While wine made from black currants turns out wonderfully fragrant, red currants lack sufficient aroma—so I recommend mixing them 1:1 with other berries, for example, gooseberries. Ready to serve.

Leave the wine for 30-45 days in a corner. Once the fermentation process is complete, siphon it off the sediment using a rubber tube, filter through cheesecloth, bottle it, and store in a cellar.
