My wife and I make a batch of wine from welches grape juice to give away as Christmas presents this year.  It turned out great but was a little bit sweet.  I had pictured something a little bit drier but it turned out to be more of a dessert wine.  Here is the recipe that we used:

-  7 11.5 ounce jars of welch’s grape juice
-  7.5 pounds of white granulated sugar
-  .5 pounds of sugar in the raw
   (could have been closer to 9 pounds of sugar)
-  10 tsp yeast nutrient
-  5 tsp pectic enzyme
-  1 packet champagne yeast

The great thing about this wine is that you can play with the ingredients and still come out with a good result.  For the next batch, I will probably use a little less sugar.  Enjoy making this wine, it’s very easy and turns out very well every time!
