High Alcohol Sweet Redneck Country Style Wine

Personally I've found that any wine over 13% is way too harsh. Even a 13% wine gives me a buzz after a couple of glasses, but then I must be a lightweight. But I've had others tell me that my wine at 13% gave them a buzz pretty quickly, too.

The trouble with high alcohol wines is that they tend to be unbalanced. Unless you're going for a port, I'd just settle on 12-13%.

The corn whiskey mentioned above I believe is the recipe for a wine. I have it listed in a little purple recipe book I got from EC Kraus. It actually comes out very good.

I made 5 gal of apple wine from 100% fresh squeezed apple juice last year. I bottled it at 12 months old and added a quart of legally distilled white lightning that you can buy legally in TN. I only have 12 bottles left and I am going to hide those until sometime next summer when. I need to make some more apple but all my equipment is currently full.

I was hoping to make something stronger than that. Something that will lead to bad decisions when it comes out of the cabinet.

That sounds like the trailer for a romantic comedy movie! LOL
