... as mentioned before in an earlier Blog post, after two months it was time to Bottle our Homemade Wine and of course taste it.
After four weeks of Fermenting and equal time locked up in glass containers, to let it get clear and all settlements drop to the bottom. Like said, we had about 4 litre's to be put into Bottles and Corked. Having done that, there came the much awaited taste test.
Two Glasses ready, Qing and I toast to our first attempt at this. "One Moment though", I said in a somewhat "Loud" voice! Just in case, this stuff is lethal and we wont wake up the next morning.. shouldn't we have a talk to Tianchi before we toast and drink it down? Qing's look on her Face, was worth a Million Bucks! haha
Anyway, as one can see.. I'm still here to write about it. All was well the next morning and honestly.. that was some great Stuff. No Hang-over or Headache, if I'm not mistaken.. I actually could see better without Glasses.
So what does it taste like? I'd say.. it is like a Moscato (Dessert Wine) with a Blush colour, which of course is due to the "Red" Grapes that we added to the mostly "Green" ones. It has a strong Alcohol smell, but it is Sweet and somewhat heavy.. with a lot of "Leg's". After a Glass, it does let you know.. that it is an Alcoholic drink and I am not kidding.
Here are a couple Photo's that shows the clearness and colour.
