Grape fruit wine

The grapes in the vineyard aren't ripe yet, but when the prep is done, it's about time.

Besides, brewing grape fruit wine doesn't necessarily require ripe grapes.

Carrying the small wine jar back to the kitchen and standing directly behind Grandpa Liu, Liu Yusheng unsealed the wine jar. The moment she pulled the cork out of the jar, a strong aroma of fruit wine immediately filled the air.

Grandpa Liu widened his nose and sniffed hard, "What smells so sweet?"

"It smells like wine? No, no, no, it smells like grapes! What is it?"

Sitting around the table, the family searched around with their heads.

"Gegege!" Liu Yusheng laughed, "Grandpa, it's this!"

Raising the wine jar higher, she swung it in front of Grandpa Liu.

"Yo! Wine jar, Nannan, where did you get this?"

Liu Zhixia and Liu Zhiqiu were the first to recognize it, "It's the wine jar! Nannan, didn't you say it was a secret? Why did you bring it out?"

"Grandpa, this is the wine jar Nannan hid away last year!"

"Aiyo, a year ago?" Grandpa Liu was surprised and swallowed, "It's been hidden for so long, what's in it that smells so good?"

It's mouthwatering with a fruity smell of wine, rousing his wine bugs craving for it!

"This old man, you're just thirsting for wine!" Having been married for decades, the old couple knew what both were thinking even with their tails tucked away. Grandma Liu glared at Grandpa Liu before giving Liu Yusheng her attention, "Nannan, give the wine jar to grandma, and grandma will go and wash it. It's been hidden for a year, so I'm afraid the content is already spoiled."

"Eh no-no-no! Let me see, it doesn't smell bad at all." The old man took the first step and grabbed the wine jar over, half squinting his eyes towards the inside.

It was too dim to see.

"Dalin, bring me a clean bowl!"

Liu Dalin stood up and went to fetch a bowl. Although he isn't craving for wine, the taste was indeed seductive. He was curious what Nannan had done to extract this taste.

If he remembers correctly, his daughter was playing with grapes and threw them into the wine, right?

With the celadon bowl on the table, the wine was slowly poured out. It was a beautiful fuchsia, clear and transparent, pleasing to the eye, diffusing a stronger wine aroma in the air.

The only flaw is that the liquor was doped with impurities.

"This color, it's beautiful." Chen Xulan and Du Juan aren't knowledgeable about wine, but that doesn't prevent them from appreciating the color.

"Smells fragrant too!" Liu Erlin swallowed with eyes staring at the purple-red wine liquid in the bowl. He had this urge to have a taste of it.

Before he could make a move, someone had jumped on him.

The old man took a sip from the bowl, so fast that his wife could not stop him, "This old man, you can smell the wine, but did you have to drink it? What if something happens to you......."
