Will the wine be ready to drink after 14 days of being fermented and bottled? Because some wine recipes require that you wait one year before you drink.

This grape recipe demonstrates how basic and simple wine making really is.Only thing not made clear in the recipe is the time factor for fermenting. Grape or any wine has to be in good condition before drinking-I would recommend it be left at least 3 months in demijohn with a couple of rackings ie filtering into another demijohn before bottling and then ensure it's clear -though in 15th and 16th centuries no-one bothered with that. If necessary add finings ot other clearing agents
