Due to the increased content of benzoic acids in cranberries, it is quite difficult to achieve fermentation from berries, but if you do everything according to the recipe, you will get a delicious wine that will have a tart taste and a pinkish-red hue. It should be noted that it is quite difficult to get table wine from cranberries, it is better to prepare sweet and strong homemade wines.
Lingonberry berries are sorted, thoroughly washed and kneaded until puree is obtained. You can use a blender.
The resulting puree is transferred to a glass container of a suitable size (jar or bottle). Pour 2 liters of water to the berries, cover with gauze and stand in a warm darkened place for five days, preferably a week.
Filter the resulting juice and additionally squeeze the berries themselves.
Pour the juice back into the bottle, where we add a mixture of honey and sugar dissolved in one and a half liters of water.
We put the juice for fermentation in a dark warm place.
When the fermentation process is completed, pour the resulting homemade wine from lingonberries into another container and stand for about two months in a cool place.
The readiness of wine is easy to determine by its color.
Long-term storage of wine is recommended in a cool place away from sunlight.
