It makes about a one pound wheel which can be ready in as little as three 3 weeks and will age in a regular refrigerator, in a ripening box, for up to 3 months. The flavor is mild, lightly acidic, fruity and very much shows the influence of the wine soak. Just a really delightful cheese. Check out the recipe. |

Wine Is Easily Made into Vinegar |
|
|
It's Easy to Make Your Own Vinegar at Home
If you have a warm place to ferment, your wine can be made into vinegar in 1-2 months. | | In the case of wine vinegars, you must dilute the wine's alcohol content to no more than 8%. The purpose of this is to dilute the wine somewhat, making it easier for the bacteria in the vinegar culture to work. This step may not be necessary after you have built up a working culture in a batch or two. Add 16 oz. of wine to 8 oz. of distilled white vinegar, and 8 oz. of vinegar bacteria culture. | |
