Learn to make coffee wine

If this is something you’ve never heard of before, then you’re in for a real treat! Coffee adds interesting characteristics to wine, and there’s even a Texas-produced wine called Pecan Mocha Wine that marks a past. The coffee flavors within the wine add interesting characteristics and will result in a semi-sweet flavor within your wine.

One interesting thing to keep in mind is that coffee and wine are not as different as you think. Any wine drinker already understands that wine must be aged properly to bring out the best flavors and characteristics, but coffee is really the same. Specific types of gourmet coffee can be aged for years to help the flavors develop and mature more deeply. This is a more expensive and valuable type of coffee, similar to good wine.

For an interesting recipe, you’ll need 1/2 pound of freshly ground coffee, 2 1/2 pounds of dark brown sugar, 1 1/2 tsp. citric acid, 1/4 tsp. tannin, 7 1/2 pints of water, 1 tsp. yeast and wine yeast. To make this a simple coffee and wine recipe, all you have to do is bring water to a boil in a large pot. Stir in the brown sugar until completely dissolved and then add the coffee grounds until the water boils. Remove this mixture from the heat and allow it to cool completely. Mix citric acid, yeast and tannin. Strain the coffee mixture through cheesecloth or muslin to remove any coffee grounds and discard. Add the wine yeast to the second mixture and combine the two mixtures. Cover with a cloth or napkin. As the mixture begins to ferment, put it in an airtight container. Allow this blend to age for 60 days, then bottle as desired.

This is an interesting wine recipe to try, and it may take some practice! It will bring deep, delicious flavors to your average glass of wine, and you might be surprised at how much the coffee adds to the wine as it ferments.
