When there are too many currant delicacies prepared for the winter, do not rush to distribute it to all relatives or store until it spoils. The remaining jam can be given a “second life”, turning it into a new and incredibly tasty product. This is not a sauce, not jelly and not a dessert, but a delicious wine with the aroma of berries.
Selection and preparation of ingredients
The wine made from blackcurrant jam has a bright dark ruby color and rich taste. 
The amount of sugar to be added to the product depends on the sweetness of the jam. If your berry preparation was acidic, you can move away from the recipe and put another 1 cup of sugar. However, a spoiled product with an uncharacteristic smell and moldy coating is not suitable for making a home-made drink, otherwise all efforts will “disappear”, so it’s important to select high-quality, old or even fermented jam, but without signs of defects.
Prepare a container for the future “elixir” (preferably a glass one), having washed it in advance, scalded it with boiling water and dried it. Also, wash and dry the rubber glove that is needed to maintain tightness.
Did you know? Blackcurrant is a real storehouse of valuable vitamins, minerals and essential oils. Wine made from currants removes toxins from the body, stimulates the immune system, gives tone and strengthens the walls of blood vessels.

Storage Features
The prepared drink is stored under a capron lid in a cool, ventilated room with a humidity index of not higher than 70%. During storage, the container should not be exposed to jolting, foreign odors and sunlight. The longer the wine is stored, the richer and deeper the taste will be.
Did you know? In ancient Rome, homemade wine was considered more prestigious than purchased, and unlike the second, it was inaccessible to slaves and peasants.
Homemade berry wine, like all traditional wines, takes time to ferment and brew. However, the recipe itself is simple, taking up a minimum of your time. All that is required of you is to monitor the processes and move from one to the other in time. To enjoy the blood-red drink prepared by your own hands in the midst of summer, you should work hard in the winter.
