How to make rhubarb wine from scratch using fresh rhubarb, sugar, yeast, and a few other ingredients. Rhubarb is potentially the best of the country wines that you can make (at least white wines!) and isn’t difficult to make as a beginner. It’s a refreshing and fruity dessert wine with a sweet rhubarb finish. With the yeast I use in the video, it can also be up to 15% ABV.
