In this invention, a grape juice concentrate is produced by crushing grapes to extract grape juice (10, 11), subjecting the grape juice to a first stage vacuum concentration (19) before it ferments by heating the grape juice and subjecting it to a low pressure (vacuum) to separate it into a distillate and a grape juice concentrate which has a Baume between 25 and 40, subsequently subjecting the concentrate to a second stage of vacuum concentration (31), also by heating under vacuum conditions, and packaging (42) the second stage concentrate when its Baume lies between 38 and 55. The second stage concentrate can be creamed (43) by high speed agitation before packaging, provided it is sufficiently fluent (e.g. a Baume of 40). |
