hmmm... thats a good question. It all comes down to how cheap you can get your ingredients. Yeast costs around 2.5 / 3.0 euros per 20 L tank. And the rest is juce - if you can make your own or you have to buy it. And then there's suggar - but that depends from how much sugar there is in the juice in the first place and how sweat you whant your wine in the end.
Of course you still have to buy or build yourself some juice squeezing machine + salary for the labor.
For me: I would say it's 5 euros per 20L just ingredients.
Wel - for 20L of juice you need a lot of berries and if you don't have any then you have to buy them. Or buy some juice concentrate.
Fermentation is around 8 months or even longer. Ofcourse there are yeasts that can to the job in couple of months.
I put everything in in july / august and around new year I start "tasting it". Till the next summer it should be done. Of course there are exceptions and fermentation in some wines goes can go on for 2 / 3 years.
you can go to the grocery and get the produce they are about to throw out...its a perfect way for them to reduce waste and get your ingredients easily!
wow. thats a great idea. I never thought abou that. Just imagine all the products that never reach customers and are thown away - milions of litres of wine!!!!
That's so Interesting to listen!
I do not know how much pleasure to do that job, must be out of my imagination.
Anyways, Thank you so much for sharing conversation. Best Wishes To You :)
