We are making our first attempt at making wine from fruit on our grape vine.
The grapes are small (about the size of a large cranberry) and purple. We
were told to make sure all of the stems are removed and to crush the grapes
and go through the first fermenting process with the skins and pulp in the
mixture. We have many little white spiders and webs in the grapes. Do we
need to take care to remove all of these (hard to do) or are they taken care
of in the striation step?
