Learn how to make wine gummy bears. Recipe for red wine, white wine, and rosé gummy bears.

About a month ago, I read about how a website has more than 18,000 people on a waitlist for Rosé Gummy Bears. Sounds delicious, but why wait when you can make your own at home?

I do love Rosé, but I thought why stop there? I’m going to make wine gummy bears of all types. Red, White, and Rosé. It almost sounds patriotic.

Red Wine Gummy Bears - An easy recipe to make red wine, white wine, or rosé gummy bears.

You may be surprised at just how easy it is to make your own wine gummy bears. All you need are two gummy bear molds, some gelatin, and a little sugar.

If you’re like me and want to keep them boozy, make sure you monitor it closely with a candy thermometer. To retain the alcohol, it needs to stay at 160 degrees or below.

I think they truly turned out to be tasty. The red wine gummy bears were my favorite, while Janette was rather fond of the Rosé.

If I made them again I would like to do some fun variations, like maybe mix some peach juice with some Moscato for the white wine version.

I could also see myself making some champagne gummy bears in a few months to help ring in the New Year!

I hope you enjoy this wine gummy bear recipe as much as we did.

Prep Time: 5 minutes mins
Cook Time: 1 hour hr 30 minutes mins

Ingredients

  • 1 Cup Wine
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons powdered Gelatin
  • 1 drop pink food coloring, if making Rosé Gummy Bears
  • 2-3 Gummy Bear Molds

Instructions

  • Place the wine, sugar and gelatin in a saucepan over medium low heat (if you want to keep the alcohol in, make sure to keep under 160 degrees). Whisk for 2-3 minutes or until sugar and gelatin have dissolved. (Stir in the pink food coloring if making Rosé gummy bears)
  • Using a glass measuring cup with a spout, pour the mixture over the gummy bear molds. Use an offset spatula to get rid of the excess and ensure all the molds are filled.

  • When gelatin has set, bears will easily pop out from mold.
  • Store uneaten wine gummy bears in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Makes about 125 gummy bears.

    I used a simple, Liberty Creek red wine and they came out great! Except, I found them to be too sweet, so next time I probably won’t use the sugar (or just 1/4 cup instead).

      The sugar also helps prevent mold so I wouldn’t cut it out completely

    Do you need the 1/2 cup of sugar? Just sounds like a lot compared to the 1 cup wine and I’m wondering if reducing the sugar would significantly impact the results

      I used stevia/erythritol blend I purchased at bulk barn here in Canada.It worked great! It was perfect for myself a some friends who are diabetic, and many liked the fact that they weren’t so sickly sweet. I did use a Blueberry Wine (by “Muskoka Lakes”) that was quite sweet.

      I also made a batch of strawberry/watermelon wine called “Strawberry Samba” by a brand called (“Girls Night Out”) I believe and I also added some drops of Loranne flavor of strawberry. they turned out lovely.

      That doesn’t make any sense… the wine is the only liquid. What would you dissolve the sugar and gelatin in?

      I was thinking the same thing. It would be nice if the recipe could be tweaked to add alcohol at the end, like when making jello shots.

    I found this recipe today and was reading the reviews to see if there were any quirks or questions. First I already ordered molds from Amazon. They have some out of stock and some still in stock. They are different sizes…the bears are… so buy the size you want. I ordered the ones that will be about 1″ finished product. But second I was wondering if the cornstarch solved the sticky problem? Maybe superfine sugar and lower the sugar in the bears? I’m going to book club on Monday and we all take wine and or a nibble. I thought these were fun and funny! Happy New Year y’all!

    For less sugar impact, try xylitol. I have used it.. it is very sweet without that bitterness from being overly sweet (like Stevia) and dissolves well.

    Regarding the stickiness & shelf life. You can use Agar-Agar instead of gelatin. It’s made from sea-weed. I found it while making some vegan treats awhile ago. It is a bit stiffer so it holds better butI didnt really like the consistency when I made the gummies before. I found it to be a bit too firm and I think it had a slight flavor to it, so maybe mix it with the gelatin at 50-50 to solve that.

      All wine contains sulfates, some wineries add additional sulfates in the fermentation process. Those are the wines you want to stay away from.

      Yes, that’s correct. The print option will take you to a printer-friendly page, then you will hit the print command in your browser (this is usually in the File tab named “Print”. Most browsers also let you hit command-P to initiate printing).

    Couldn’t you use Sugar-free Jello flavor of choice, instead of the sugar? I’m going to try it and add some CBD for extra lift. I have a gummy mold, going to try this tomorrow.

      This recipe is made with gelatin, not Jello. If you use Jello the consistency will not be right and the bears may not set up at all.

    What recommendations do you all have about the sweetness of the wine you chose? I don’t want to pick up a table red wine or a dry Riesling if it works best with a different wine, etc. I was reading in the comments and didn’t see an answer.

    I looked for some answers but didn’t see any…

    •How long will they keep in the fridge?
    •Should I spray the molds for easier removal? (Like canola oil spray)
    •How can I measure the temperature on the stove? I don’t have a thermometer.
    •And more importantly, how many to catch a buzz! (Not drunk)

    Thanks for the info!!

      Ok. Just made these. I’m not a wine drinker so I didn’t think about it but, probably should’ve gotten something sweeter! I did buy rose but looking at the bottle after tasting them, it says, dry. So my fault!! Also, some have a whitish film on top, any clue how to fix that for next time?
      Thanks!!

    I am soon gonna make this wine jello 🤩 gonna be christmasgifts 😉 I have a few questions for you 😁
    1) How to avoid them sticking together?
    Google suggest cornstartch, pearlsugar, regular sugar and let them dry for a few days.. About the last one, wouldnt that make the wine gummi kind of hard-isch on the outside? I really dont like that feeling in things I eat 🤣
    2) Can it be stored in the fridge?
    3) Can it be freezed for another time?

    I followed the recipe exactly EXCEPT I used 1/4 cup sugar instead of 1/2. They came out PERFECT, didn’t stick together, and popped out of the molds easily. Everyone loves them. I made sauvignon blanc, strawberry Moscato, chardonnay, and even Corona beer with lime zest. I gifted them IN either a wine glass or beer mug. Very cute idea!

    I made these and they were in the refrigerator for several hours and I still had a hard time getting them out of the mold. Do you prep your mold before pouring the solution?
