We can make wine out of sugar, but for out of water?..I think it will be strange. Water is required as a solvent, except you want to make wine with 100% alcohol and you do not need a solvent. But is it possible to make 100% alcohol? I think impossible since it has high vapor pressure, then water is needed as a solvent.

Not quite sure where they were going with that answer but yeas you can make wine well not so much wine more or less just alcohol at most around 15% alcohol unless you distill it of which is illegal so I will not further that conversation so your answer is YES BUT NO you can make alcohol not wine with sugar, water, and yeast

I do not have a recipe but I presume this would work

1 Gallon Water

3lb Granulated White Sugar

1 Yeast Packet (wine, beer, or even bread doesn't really matter it will all turn sugar into alcohol)

A Glass Jar (sterilized-boiling water poured in it will do it just fine just don't break your jar)

Punching Balloon

Tape

Boil the water dissolve the sugar into the boiling water pour the sugar water into the jug approximately 1 inch from the top let the water cool to at least to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and then add your yeast place the balloon on the top of the jug and tape it on there. Place it in a dark warm spot the balloon will get quite large and it will take about a month until the balloon stops growing and the solution has stopped bubbling and well I guess take your chances hold your nose and bottoms up

But if it were me I would prefer to make some honey wine

To answer directly... NO. That would simply give you a solution of suger, which is pretty well bilogically inert. As the rest of the above implies, you need yeast to turn the sugar into alcohol and carbon-dioxide; preferably with some sort of flavouring otherwise it would be merely dilute alcohol, not wine.

You just do the following.

step 1 get a 1 gallon jug

step 2 sanitize with small amount of bleach and rinse twice

step 3 mix 4-6 cups sugar for each 1 gallon jug of water and stir till the sugar disolves

step 4 get active dry yeast (1 packet) yeast and follow activating instructions

step 5 combine yeast with sugar water

step 6 take a balloon and poke holes in it with a needle and slip it over the top

after 1-2 days the balloon should inflate and the balloon should let out the gas. after about 2 weeks the balloon should deflate, at that point its done

you may want to filter it somehow after this cause it may have gunk left over

The best recepe for lemonade is one part sugar, one part lemon juice, and four parts water. So basically, one cup of sugar, one cups lemon juice, and four cups water. Use the 1:1:4 ratio for any amount of lemonade.

It won't dissolve as well as crystal sugar, so it's probably not the best idea. The sugar needs to be in solution for the yeast to feed on it. Powdered sugar is likely to to clump up on the surface, or form beads if you try to mix it in.

Wine contains water, but also ethyl alcohol, which is chemically very different from water, as well as some other alcohols and organic denaturants. It would be impossible to turn water into this complex mix of chemicals or to produce a palatable drink. Only the god Bacchus and Jesus have ever been recorded as achieving this feat.

Yes you can, however the product may not taste very good. I'm not sure on the quantities, but with regular yeast you should be able to produce at least 10% alcohol.

make the wine as you would normally, then drop the temperature of the carboy(demijohn) and add metabisulphite - its a preservative - and these will prevent any yeast cells within the mix from consuming any sugar or sweetener you add. the sweetener is the last ingredient to be added, usually as a syrup.


How would a wine maker produce a dry wine?

He adds no sugar to the grape juice in the process of fermentation. Adding sugar to the unfermented grape juice is called chaptilisation and is used to increase the final alcohol content of the wine. To make a dry wine the winemaker will allow the fermentation process to continue until all the sugar has been converted to alcohol.


How mayny teaspoons of sugar are in a glass of white wine?

Wine comes from fermenting sugar from grape juice. The sugar content at harvest will determine the potential alcohol of the wine, normally recorded in Brix. The easiest way to determine how much sugar,residual sugar, is left in wine is to calculate the difference of potential alcohol before fermentation and after fermentation. The remaining sugar left unfermented will be the sugar left over in the wine (white or red). Thus, each wine will have a different amount of 'sugar' left depending on winemaking practice and style. It is possible to test the wine for residual sugar, but I feel this question assumes that all white wine has the same amount of sugar; this is incorrect, so this question is too vague to answer.
