Today I was having a friendly chat with a co-worker and I can't remember how, but the subject was brought up and I mentioned that I make my own wine.
"What can you make it out of?"
"Just about anything."
"No way."
"Well, almost anything."
"You can just walk into a supermarket and pick something at random and make wine out of it?"
"To a degree. As long as it doesn't have certain preservatives in it....yeah."
"Could you make wine out of Kool-Aid?"
"Sure."
"Yeah, right."
"No, really. I could."
The conversation continued, and when it was over, I found that I had been challenged to make wine from Kool-Aid. So I figure, what the heck. Why not. I've never heard of anyone making wine from Kool-Aid, but I stopped by the supermarket after work and read the ingredients. Nothing in there that should hinder fermentation. It will probably be very lacking in body so I picked upa couple bunches ofbananas and a 1.5 lb can of raisins. I'll be using grape flavored kool aid. This will probably be the worst tasting batch of wine I've ever made, but a challenge is a challenge. I'll post pics of my progress once I get started......
Oh, since I'm not very hopeful about my results, I'll just be doing a 1 gallon batch. You never know though, could be great stuff (but I have serious doubts).
