I really love a nice glass of wine. Nothing expensive or fancy, necessarily. I just like wine.
So, my husband has made it his personal mission to make some wine. And, he did it. And, it’s actually quite tasty.
And, would you believe that this wine started with a bottle of Welch’s 100 percent grape juice? The entire thing is actually quite comical.
But, I kid you not. It’s yummy. If you are interested, he used this video about making wine the redneck way. He added a little oak for flavor (from our backyard).
It took several months of “aging,” but when we drank it, I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. So, this means that Ryan just started another batch for us.
And that is love, friends. Making your wife homemade wine.
Husband points, all the way.

The Woodwards can DIY anything! I have seriously never heard of this before and may have to give it a go someday when I have more free time…and can drink:).

How awesome! Now all you need is a mason jar wine glass and you will be all set. (Mason Jar + candle stick) ๐

Nice! I love that it’s called “redneck wine”. I agree with Cindy’s comment.. you are super woman! ๐
emily @ the happy home says
that’s so freaking cool! i work in the wine industry, and some people have some major attitude. i like seeing at-home vintners making good stuff!
Jordan says
Awesome! My husband has recently gotten into beer making and the majority of the batches have turned out well, it really is amazing! There’s currently a bucket of lemonade fermenting in the basement. It will soon be hard lemonade “for the ladies”. Yay for nice husbands!

kim – this is great! i can’t believe it works. my brother has made wine before but his process is much more complicated.
and it’s actually good?
Shannon says
Is there anything that man cannot do? But for reals, what a talent to have. I’d learn but I’m lazy. And there is a liquor store wayyyyy to close. And yep, we can only buy our wine at state liquor stores in PA. It’s a horrible horrible law. Maybe I should be re-thinking this wine making hobby after all.

So, does this taste more like Welch’s or red wine? Because I like Welch’s…but not red wine, only white.
Who knew you could even do this? Nate even listened to me when I told him abou this…usually I say something like “I found this on a blog” and he makes me stop.
And seriously, how many hours a night do you all sleep? 3? 2?
