How long does it take to make plum wine?

You can make plum wine with any type of plum, but it is especially tasty with Red Plums. It takes about six weeks for the wine to be ready to drink.

To make plum wine, you will need:
3-4lbs of red plums
1 gallon of water
1 package of yeast
1/2 cup of sugar
A clean and sterilized 1-gallon glass jug with a tight-fitting lid

Wash the plums and remove the stems. Cut the plums in half and place them in the jug. Add the water and yeast, and then seal the lid tightly. Store the jug in a cool, dark place for six weeks, shaking it gently every few days.

After six weeks, strain the wine into another clean and sterilized jug, using a coffee filter or cheesecloth. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved. Re seal the lid and let the wine age for another 2-3 months.

Best served chilled, plum wine will keep for up to a year. Enjoy!

What is the difference between plum wine and other fruit wines?

The main difference between plum wine and other fruit wines is the type of fruit used. Plum wine is made with, you guessed it, plums! Other fruit wines can be made with any type of fruit, including grapes, apples, pears, berries, and cherries.

The second difference is in the sugar content. Plum wine is made with less sugar than other fruit wines, so it is slightly less sweet.

The third difference is in the alcohol content. Plum wine typically has a lower alcohol content than other fruit wines. This is because the plums used in plum wine have a lower sugar content than other fruits, and the sugar is what turns into alcohol during the fermentation process.

So, if you’re looking for a slightly less sweet and less alcoholic wine, plum wine is a great option. Just be sure to check the label to make sure you’re getting 100% plum wine, as some brands add other fruits or grape juice to their plum wines.
