You need to wash the grapes and process them in the juicer. An alternative to the juicer is a steam juicer made up of a bottom pot containing boiling water. It also includes a second pot that helps the steam rise in the juicer through a cone. 

The second pot includes the grapes, and when the mist rises from the bottom pot, you get grape juice in the top pot.

How To Make Grape Juice With A Blender

The steps of how to make grape juice with a blender are easy and do not require much effort. Also, blended grapes taste much better than processed grapes in a juicer. Here are the steps on how to make grape juice using a blender:

Instructions

  • Wash the selected grapes and make sure to take them off the vines. Also, make sure that these grapes are clean.
  • After washing the grapes, place the water in your blender along with sugar.
  • Add grapes to the water. 
  • Blend the grapes to prepare a smoothie. You can run blender cycles as long as there are no clumps.

There can be some amount of pulp or skin of grapes remaining in your juice. However, this is a better way to drink this juice as this means that you do not lose the grapes’ nutrients. But many kids do not like their juice to have pulp, and thus, you can strain the juice, making use of a filter. 

The homemade grape juice can last for about five to seven days in the refrigerator. The reason is that this homemade juice does not contain much processed sugar. However, keep the juice chilled so that you can easily consume it for some days, after which the juice may begin to ferment.

Homemade Wine From Grape Juice

Ingredients

  • A plastic funnel;
  • A drinking water container;
  • Grape juice prepared at home;
  • 500 grams of sugar;
  • A sachet of wine yeast.

Ensure that you use only wine yeast as you cannot use any form of yeast to make the wine. A baking yeast will ferment for sure, but it will also stop fermenting soon, and you can get an oversweet wine with a bready smell.
