I myself, have never made my own wine, but I do know that making your own wine makes the best wine possible!

My Dad makes his own wine, and when my parents come over for dinner, they usually bring a homemade bottle of wine ... and it is second to none!

If you grow your own peaches, or you have a friend or family member who does, and they have excess fruit to provide you with free peaches, obviously, that will make your wine making considerably cheaper. 

It is important to use firm, ripe fruit of good quality to ensure the finished wine will be of a good quality as well.

Refrain from using overripe or unripe peaches. You want your wine to taste the best it can be, or else you may have wasted time, effort, and expenses!

You can also choose to pick your own peaches, which is usually less expensive than purchasing peaches already harvested.

Homemade Peach Wine Recipe

Note: You can also use the recipe below to make a Nectarine Wine.

Ingredients

2 pounds peaches, peeled and pitted
4 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp. yeast nutrients
1/2 tsp. pectic enzyme
1/4 tsp. tannin
1 campden tablet
12 cups boiling water
1 pkg. wine yeast

Directions

Stone and chop fruit. Place in primary fermentor. Add water, sugar and the campden tablet, and stir to dissolve the sugar. Let mixture sit overnight.

The next day, add nutrients, pectic enzyme and tannin. Specific Gravity should be 1.090 - 1.095. Stir in the yeast. Stir daily for 3 days. Strain out fruit and squeeze a much juice out of it as you can. Siphon into secondary fermentor and attach airlock.

For a dry wine, rack in three weeks, and every three months for one year. Bottle.

For a sweet wine, rack at three weeks. Add 1/2 cup sugar dissolved in 1 cup of wine. Stir gently, and place back into secondary fermentor. Repeat this process every six weeks until fermentation does not restart with the addition of the sugar. Rack every three months until one year old. Bottle.

If wine is not clear, or still has quite a bit of sediment forming between rackings, fine the wine as follows:

Use wine finings or plain gelatin. Gelatin: use 1 tsp. per 6 gallons of wine.
Finings: use 1/2 tsp. per 5 gallons of wine. Soak in 1/2 cup cold water for 1/2 hour. Bring to a boil to dissolve. Cool. Stir into the wine. Let sit 10 - 14 days. Rack.

If not clear enough yet, repeat the above process. DO NOT increase the amount of gelatin or finings. The mixture will stay suspended in the wine, preventing it from ever clearing. Bottle once wine is clear.

The wine is best if you can refrain from drinking it for one full year from the date it was started.
