What You Can Get From Drinking Wine and Starting A Wine Business
“If a person is fond of drinking wine at right amounts, this person can actually have health benefits from it. Below are points to consider why you should drink a glass of wine after eating a sumptuous dinner:
• PROTECTION FOR THE HEART – Drinking a glass of wine a day increases the blood’s level of omega-3 fatty acids which help fight inflammation of blood vessels.
• STRENGTHENS YOUR BONES – When we drink wine regularly in moderation, our bones become stronger especially our hip bone. It has been reported that the alcohol content in wine increases the estrogen levels of our body together with other hormones that are very important for us to develop strong bones.
• LOWERS THE RISK OF TYPE II DIABETES – Wine can decrease the chances for one to get type II diabetes. Studies have shown that wine can make our body more sensitive to insulin. If this happens, we become less likely to have type 2 diabetes.
If you’re some of those who have a strong fascination for wine, why not make your own? Below are instructions on how you can do it:
Things needed:
• 1 gal of purified water
• sugar – 3 pounds
• a pound of herbs
• 2 lemons
• oranges, 2 pieces
• 4 ounce of dried fruits
• big bottle
• Fermentation lock
• Siphon
• Wine yeast
• Pot
• Juicer and a cooking thermometer
What to do:
The very first thing you should do is to peel the lemons and oranges and extract their juices, then remove the seeds if any. Clean the herbs by removing damaged parts. Use only the stems, roots or leaves. Chop them as finely as possible. Mix purified water, juice, peel, sugar, herbs and dried fruits together in a large pot and stir. Let it boil for about 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, let the mixture cool down. Sterilize the bottle then pour the mixture inside the bottle. This can be strained if desired. Add yeast to the mixture by the time it cools to approximately 110 degree F. One wine yeast packet will do for about 20-30 gallons. When done, you can put in the fermentation lock and fill it with water.
Store your bottle in a cool, dry and dark place. Check the wine constantly and see if the yeast has started to grow (it becomes cloudy). When the wine becomes clear, siphon off the liquid, while trying not to disturb the yeast that has settled. Refill the fermentation lock and return the bottle to place. The yeast will continue to ferment in the coming days. Put the bottle back in a dark place until the wine is clear.”
Once you perfect this process, you can even have your own wine tasting business or your own winery once you’re ready. Or you can just buy a wine store franchise. Whatever direction you want to take, make sure you study all the possibilities to increase your chances of success.
