QuestionDoes the alcohol evaporate during pasteurization?Community AnswerThe alcohol (ethanol) will evaporate at around 78°C. While some will evaporate, the alcohol vapors will condensate in the bottle and drip back into the wine. It won't be a problem unless you remove the foil seal before it's finished cooling.

QuestionHow do I pasteurize a juice?Community AnswerHeat the juice to about 70°C (158°F), stirring frequently. Keep it at 70°C for at least 1 minute. This will make sure that all E. coli bacteria, as well as other organisms such as mold, are destroyed. Pour the juice into clean, sterilized preheated bottles.
