Your videos are very informative as well as entertaining. I enjoy you enthusiasm as well as your creativity. Keep the videos coming.

You have me wondering how your home made Merlot compares to the store-bought ones you used to top off the fermenter after racking. I’ll often use wine to top off fermenters if there is too much head space. As I’m not a big drinker but also like to use wine in cooking, I’ll often struggle with an entire bottle even when I share with my daughter or my SO and use some in a sauce or stew. Lining up a racking with the opening of a bottle of store bought tipple for a sauce and a glass or two with the meal will often work out just right. On pairing of red/white wine with certain foods: this is actually fairly recent. The more stringent rules like only pairing fish with white wine for example, can be mostly traced back to Gault & Millau (around 1969) and to Raymond Dumay (1967). Generally, the concept of wine pairing historically came simply from pairing local wines with local dishes, and gradually evolved into simply pairing the most suitable wine with a particular dish. No more, no less. This involved a lot of personal preference and as restaurants started to appear, knowledge about their target audience. Given the immense variety of wines nowadays and the almost infinite variety in flavour profiles, levels of acidity, and tannic values, more and more high end chefs and sommeliers have long since abandoned the “only white wine with fish” and “only red wine with meat” rules. Instead, audience permitting, they’ll simply go by what fits best according to them. A few rules of thumb have emerged. Like serving lower-ABV wines with spicy foods, tannic wines with game, and more acidic wines with fattier dishes (or pair these with a tannic wine). Dishes that are in the salty side go well with a wine that’s a bit on the acidic side. Etc… These are, however, only rules of thumb. Some prefer sweeter wines with spicy dishes. Some follow the ‘like attracts like’ rule, preferring similar flavours together (sweet dish = sweet wine, for example) which can some times backfire, leading the combination to either fall flat, or become too strong. Choosing a wine with a profile going in the opposite direction could have provided more interest and an overall better experience. The consensus overall amongst the different schools of thought is balance. The dish shouldn’t overpower the wine and the wine shouldn’t overpower the dish. Long story short: depending on how you prepared that red snapper, it could very well be that it was a match made in heaven. Side note: I’m no connoisseur, would never dream of describing myself as one. I just know what I like. A few friends of mine however are connoisseurs. They earn their living working with wine in the high end restaurant industry. They like ‘testing’ their friends and apparently what I like is pretty good. Trust your taste buds. 😊

I read the title wrong lol I was like how on Earth does he make wine from concrete?!

👍

How do I get rid of the preservatives in the juice because they spoil the fermentation process of the drink... Thank you

do you have an alcohol percentage you aim for when brewing your wines?

HELP!!!! I got mold in primary fermentation 😢 what should I do? Is it safe to consume if it’s molded ?

What no sugar?

Oh oh....bottle of Merlot...bottle of Chardonnay, Mrs. DIY might get a call from the police tonight to come bail her husband out of the tank...lol.
