Your Wine Estimate
How It Works
Our wine making calculator uses standard home winemaking ratios based on fruit type, desired sweetness level, and target alcohol content. These values are derived from established winemaking references and are widely used by home winemakers and small-scale vintners.
Juice Yield by Fruit Type
Different fruits yield different amounts of juice per pound. Grapes are the most efficient, producing roughly 150–180 gallons of juice per ton (about 0.75–0.9 gallons per 10 lbs). Soft fruits like strawberries yield less juice per pound due to their high fiber and water content structure.
Sugar & Alcohol Formula
Wine Style Residual Sugar Guide
Dry wines have less than 1% residual sugar, off-dry wines have 1–2%, semi-sweet wines have 2–5%, and sweet wines have 5% or more. The calculator adjusts sugar additions to account for both alcohol production and desired residual sweetness.
