How long does it take to make plum wine?

The average time it takes to make plum wine is about 2 weeks. This includes the time it takes to ferment the plums and the time it takes to bottle the wine. However, if you are patient and let the wine age for a year or two, it will be much better.

The first step is to wash the plums and remove the stems. Next, you need to crush the plums. This can be done with a potato masher or by putting them in a food processor. Once they are crushed, put them in a fermenting vessel. You can use a glass bowl or jar, or a plastic bucket. Add water to the vessel until the plums are covered and then stir in sugar until it dissolves.

Cover the vessel with a clean cloth and let it sit for 3-5 days, stirring it once a day. After 3-5 days, the plums will have released their juice and the sugar will have fermented into alcohol. At this point, you need to strain the plum wine. Do this by putting a strainer over a clean bowl or jug and pouring the wine through it.

Once the wine is strained, it is ready to be bottled. You can either drink it right away or store it in a cool, dark place for later. If you store it, the wine will continue to age and improve over time.
