In advance, sterilize the jar with a standard small neck, then fill it with half a volume of strawberries and add sugar. Fill all the boiled water below the edge of the can, where it is 5 cm. Close the container with a special lid for the wine tasting and pour the rest of the water into the hole in the lid. When the liquid starts to boil, then you have done everything right and the fermentation process has gone, that is, the wine "started to play". We put the jar in the sun. Somewhere in 20 days, when the wine stops bubbling and becomes light, open the lid and strain the drink through a sieve. Add 1 glass of sugar and close the wine tightly with a lid. After 2 weeks it stops playing and becomes lighter. Once again, filter without mixing the precipitate, and fix the drink at the rate of 2 tablespoons of vodka per half liter of wine. We keep homemade wine from strawberries in a cool dark place, but best of all - in the fridge.
