Red Wine Gummies Recipe – Only 3 Ingredients
Wine gummies caught my eye on Pinterest. I traced them back to this fabulous blog, ThriveStyle, where she not only lists the recipe but also explains the health benefits of gelatin.
I knew I had to make some gummies immediately. Someone creates an adult gummy; you recreate it swiftly, am I right? This post contains affiliate links.
How to Make Red wine Gummies for Adults
Since I am impatient and didn’t have the exact ingredients, I modified the recipe a bit.
With only three ingredients, I was still able to whip up some super tasty red wine gummies in minutes.
I used the raw honey that I had just received from the Savannah Bee Company.
Tiny serving set is from LTD Commodities.
I suggest ordering mini cookie cutters (amazon). I ordered a massive tub of assorted cookie cutters, and they are the size of my palm.
You definitely don’t want your gummies that large.
They are adult fruit snacks with real booze and should be eaten responsibly.
In these pictures, I used a mini heart mold, but they were quite tricky to remove without tearing the gummies.
The wine that I used was pretty dry, and I probably could have added a bit of sweetener.
But, they taste like wine, and that’s what you want, right? This isn’t like eating gummy bears.

Ingredients
- 1 cup dark red wine
- 4 tbsp unflavored gelatin
- 2 ½ tbsp raw honey
Instructions
- Add wine and honey to a pan and heat on low.1 cup dark red wine, 2 ½ tbsp raw honey
- Whisk the wine and honey together.
- Add the gelatin in one Tbsp at a time, making sure it's dissolved before adding more.4 tbsp unflavored gelatin
- Keep the heat on low the whole time. You don’t want the wine to boil. The heat is solely to dissolve and properly mix all the ingredients.
- Pour mixture into a shallow pan and chill in the refrigerator. It doesn’t take long to set into a gummy-like texture. You can then cut into squares, or use a cookie cutter to create shapes.

Red wine is good for you in moderation. So are the honey and gelatin. Guess that means these snacks are actually quite good for you!
Visit ThriveStyle to see how she originally did this recipe. She also has a video that explains some of the benefits of gelatin. Oh, and she has a recipe for margarita gummies. What?!
A lot of people have asked or told me that the alcohol burns off during the heating process.
Since you don’t boil the water and only heat enough for everything to dissolve, I don’t believe it does burn off the alcohol.
I don’t have a clear answer for this, but I will tell you — I am a lightweight and I swear I caught a little buzz after eating a few.
You’ll have to see for yourself. Let me know!

You can make wine gummies with any flavor of wine.
Which wine would you use?
I love it! Grown-up gummies! I need to share these!
Redwine gummy’s, what’s not to love! I am so going to make these for my BBF’s!
These look so easy. Thanks
Yes please. I am most definitely going to be making these. How awesome.
Alcoholic gummies? My prayers have just been answered. Thanks!
A friend of mine just told me about these but I didn’t realize how easy they were to make!
These sound awesome for Valentine’s Day! I love the ingredient list… especially the dark red wine!
Wow, that’s easy! These would be great to try, even to put as decoration in a glass of wine!
I didn’t realize gelatin had health benefits! I should try this with fruit juice!
OMG, these are so cute and I bet they taste amazing!
What a wonderful recipe. I love that it only has a few ingredients and it doesn’t take much time to make. I can’t wait to try it.
I don’t drink wine, but looks like a fun way to celebrate Valentine’s Day! Very creative idea!
I’m a wine lover so I think I’d like to at least try to make. I have some raspberry wine that would be perfect. Pinning.
Looks super easy to make! I bet they taste great too! Will have to make me some.
Yummy! Sounds like a great evening snack. I love adult gummies!
I would make Malbec gummies!! I think I am going to make these for my girl friends!
What a creative idea! I have never heard of something like this before!
These look delicious! I have never had wine gummies!
How creative! These are too stinking cute too. Great idea!
Oh I will have to try this. I’m not a red wine lover but I’m sure this will be a fun recipe to try
So fun and so easy. Thanks for the recipe.
I have to make these for my best friend. She love gummies and wine. She would love these.
Ha! These are great! I love mixing vodka with a sweet muscato, I wonder if I could make that into these gummies…
I don’t see why not! Let me know if you try it!!
I’m obsessed with gummies. I love red wine. This is perfection!
These look adorable, and I love the “health” benefits! We’re hosting a cocktail link-up today and would love for you to stop by and share these gummies!
Fantastic! I have to make these … might try it with an Apothic blend!
Sounds delicious and perfect for Valentines Day. Thank you for coming to the Inspire Me Monday Linky Party.

What a cute idea. What says romance better then red wine?! I love this! Sharing

OKAY those came out really cool ;looking.
I have absolutely got to try these. How fun…right up there with the jello shots. 🙂
I would make them with a sweet red wine. These would be an awesome addition to a dinner party.
I don’t drink wine because I just really do not like the taste. So I also do not get the benefits! These are a great idea for those of us that do not drink wine!
These definitely taste like wine! Maybe use grape juice to make them, or more sweetener. Cause the red wine flavor is strong for sure.
These are so cute, and I would love to make these! I bet they taste good and I would love to try it with red Cranberry juice to get the same look!
Very different idea I might have to give this a try. I wonder how many gummies you have to eat to equal a gllass?
I really love this recipe, very cool! If I made them, not sure which wine I would use, something really sweet though 🙂
The gummies look really nice! I don’t drink wine but I know others that would probably like to snack on these.
I have to try this. I have left over Merlot
This is so cool , I didn’t even know you could make your own gummies. The red wib ed health benefits are wonderful! Thanks for the recipe.
These look cute! How did you go about making the small heart within the heart while keeping the bottom layer intact?
Thank you! I used a candy mold for the hearts. I didn’t include them in the post because it was extremely hard to get them out of the molds in one piece!
wouldn’t the alcohol disappear in the heating process?????
No need to eat responsibly lol
I am not 100% sure, but I don’t believe we heat it long enough to burn it all off. You just want to dissolve the gelatin for the most part.
File this under new and different, I love it!
I am a sucker for gummies and add red wine ..yes please! Thanks for linking up to Merry Monday! Pinned ! Have a great week!

Thanks so much for joining us at Delicious Dishes! We love your Red Wine Gummies recipe and hope you’ll join us again this week!
Disappointingly bland. If I do it again I’ll add something like some sour cherry juice or maybe Ribena concentrate?
I think it depends on the wine. Sour cherry sounds good. Let us know if you try something else.
