California Farm Fortified Sherry Wine

A fortified wine is a wine that has alcohol added. We make cooking wine from grape juice, measure the wine alcohol and add 50% grain alcohol to make a fortified wine.
To turn fortified wine into sherry wine, we add a piece of american white oak wood inside the plastic pail and age for six months.
It turns the cooking wine we make into a great sherry wine to flavor soups and gravies, with the color and flavor of Amontillado Sherry Wine. This recipe shows you how we make this.

Fortify the wine: add 1 bottle 50% grain alcohol to 6 bottles of 12% cooking wine, measure the alcohol with hydrometer. Should be 18%.
- 3
Add a pound of dry white oak wood to the wine in the pail. Age half a year in plastic pail with airlock. Or, age in oak wooden barrel. Fortified sherry wine will turn a rich deep golden brown color. Siphon into wine bottles with fresh corks. DO NOT REUSE SCREWCAP BOTTLES. Wine in reused screwcap wine bottles will spoil after a few weeks or months. Enjoy.
