Do YOU Make Your Own Wine? What's Your Favorite Recipe/Result so Far?
- When did you first start making wine?
- What type of wine was it?
- What wines do you make/prefer now?
- Why do you do it?
I started making wine for a roomate. It was a simple grape juice, raisins and bread yeast wine. I now make Chinese style, medicinal rice wine. I do it because it's healthier for me, and I greatly prefer the quality.
My favorite wine I ever produced was a gallon of Beet & Blood Orange Melomel. I poured shots for people at a party. As soon as they drank it, I would ask them to tell me what I made the wine with.
The response was 'Berries?' from every single person.
At 15 seconds (timed on my watch) I would ask them what they taste now?
I could see the flash in their eyes as they went to respond and changed their answer. At 15 seconds, the flavor changed and a flash of strong orange would cross your tongue. LOL
Freaking amazingly delicious, and then the furnace would start in your belly. I swear it was over 18% ABV. :D
