I made thisMint wine lastApril.It’s a really sweet dessert wine withasubtle minttaste.... Even though you can consume it after 30 days,the wine lookslittle cloudy.I got this very clear wine after keeping it for almost6 months. So I suggest you allow this wine to age for approximately 6 monthsafter whichyou will get amild mint flavored clear wine.

Don't use the cork bottles. Store in clean bottles with normal cap and do not close the cap tightly.

Hi Swapna!
First of all I have to thank u for all the lovely recipes u share.
I tried making ur amla wine n its was a hit. Earlier I'd tried apple wine, guava wine n strawberry n they were equally good. This time I'm trying my hands on mango, rice, mint, ginger and lemon.Its day 3 today of starting all these. All of them seem to be doing fine except for the mint wine..it was sad to see fungal growth on it in the evening today.. as a ritual I stirred all of them in the morning but in the evening mint one showed fungus on it..
what should I do now? Can it still be saved?arlenepingale29 February 2016 at 14:06
Hi Swapna,
Would you have a recipe for green apple wine? Please post. Your wine recipes are fabulous.
Thanks

Hi Swapna,
I made the mint wine and today is day 30. however, it is extremely sour in taste. Is it supposed to taste like that or will it get less sour with time?
Please reply. Also let me know if i could do something if its not supposed to be sour in taste.
Thanks

Hi Arlene,
The wine should be sweet. If it is sour like vinegar, I am sorry it might have gone bad. you can add more sugar and see if it is sweet enough.arlenepingale4 April 2016 at 11:48
Hi, I don't think it's bad but maybe I put less sugar. I will add more sugar n see.
Thnks

I am a bit lost when it comes to buying yeast. No one seems to be selling "wine yeast" - can I use active yeast used for bread??

What kind of yeast did you use? can you mention the name??

Hello Swapna,
I have made mint and rice wine and my family and friends have just loved it. So I started making it. Now some more people are asking for it. Therefore I started making. Thanks to you and your blog. However I would like to earn money for this. Could you please guide how to charge per bottle and how much bottle it should be.
Thanks in advance.
Sindhu
