Snow-White Sugary

Snow-White Sugary is a Froturnish variety of white wine, known for its sweetness due to the added sugar post-fermentation (otherwise it would be a dry wine, like most other white wines), optionally with added lemon juice or peel for flavor - though at times, it was also made via adding stevia pre-fermentation. It is a local speciality around the area near Yanus, and as such, it is served in the Finger of Fire Inn - a cheap imitation is also sold in the rest of Froturn, as well as in Etrand.

The authentic recipe is actually a dry wine, where the sweetness comes from the stevia that was added pre-fermentation (stevia being unfermentable) - most variants on the other hand (and all of the cheap knockoffs) simply replicate the effect by adding sugar post-fermentation, usually not even letting it go completely dry to begin with.

Preparation
To prepare Snow-White Sugary using the authentic recipe, one will need the following ingredients:


 * 2 kg of white grapes
 * 1 g of stevia powder
 * 5 g of champagne yeast
 * Grated lemon peel from 1 lemon
 * Juice of 1 lemon
 * Water
 * Cheesecloth or other fine-mesh strainer


 * 1) Crush the grapes in a large bowl or bucket using a potato masher or similar tool.
 * 2) Add the stevia powder, champagne yeast, grated lemon peel, and lemon juice to the crushed grapes and mix well.
 * 3) Cover the mixture with a cheesecloth or other fine-mesh strainer and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 2-3 weeks to allow the fermentation process to take place.
 * 4) After 2-3 weeks, carefully strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or other fine-mesh strainer to separate the liquid from the solids.
 * 5) Pour the liquid into a clean, sterilized bottle or jar and seal it tightly.
 * 6) Let the wine age for at least 1 month before serving, as this will allow the flavors to fully develop and mature.

To prepare a cheaper, non-authentic version of Snow-White Sugary using the post-fermentation method, one can follow a similar process, but omit the stevia and use regular white wine instead of crushing your own grapes. Simply mix the white wine with sugar to taste, adding lemon juice or peel if desired, and let it age for at least 1 month before serving. One has to keep in mind however, that this version will not have the same depth of flavor as the authentic recipe, as the stevia adds a unique sweetness and complexity to the wine.
