It's been a long week and Portugalyou need a glass of wine. Do you:
Drive to the nearest wine shop.
Visit a local wine bar.
Pour some grape juice in an Instant Pot.
David Murphy of Food N Service went for the final option, and to hear him tell it, the results were better than expected.

Beyond a pressure cooker, Murphy's red wine recipe requires little extra equipment. The instructions call for a bottle of grape juice, a packet of wine yeast, a cup of sugar, a funnel, and a roll of tape. His batch spent two days in the Instant Pot and more than a week fermenting on the kitchen counter.
By the end, Murphy says he wound up with a red wine – featuring "hints of dark cherry and a bit of raw chocolate" – that he'd happily drink.
"I was expecting a failure, but I was patient and played that annoying waiting game," he writes. "Honestly, it was so much better than some of those cheap bottles of wine that I’ve bought. Dare I say, even better than the two-buck Chuck from Trader Joe's!"
While we can't personally vouch for the taste, quality, or safety of homemade pressure cooker wine, we're mostly just delighted that someone bothered to try.
Now, perhaps you're thinking: Didn't Instant Pot justissue a recall? It did, but only for certain batches of its Gem 65 8-in-1 multicooker. As the New York Timespoints out, your pressure cooker Instant Pot is probably good to go. Happy winemaking!
