Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scooter68" data-source="post: 728169" data-attributes="member: 33338">We opened our first bottle of Pineapple Mango wine last week.  The wife was afraid to 'encourage' me too much, but she definitely liked it.  I talked at dinner over the next few days about keeping my eyes open for Fresh Mangos or Frozen Mango Chunks at a decent price.   Her reaction was muted but slightly different than it has been to my talk about new wine batches.So today I was in a Sam's Club in Fayetteville, AR down the road near my VA center.  Frozen Mango Chuncks $8.98 for 4 lbs.   Did a quick calculation and decided to get 4 bags.  for 3 gallons of wine.   As I was leaving Sam's the wife called.  After I told her where I was (Not what I bought) she revealed that she had just purchased 10 Fresh Mangos @ $.45 each.    So I fessed up about my purchase.Guess that means she liked the wine a lot.   <img src="/images/smilies/Banana.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":db" title="Dancing banana    :db" data-shortname=":db" />OH and this hopefully will be a MANGO - Pineapple wine not a PINEAPPLE - Mango wine.   Nothing against the first batch but I really want the Mango flavor to show up more.Will post back what the final weights and composition of the batch looks like.  Hoping for at somewhere between 6-7lbs of Mangos per gallon and Two cans of Frozen Pineapple Juice.   for a 3 gallon batch.Oh and I ran contrary to my own guidelines an bottled  that first batch at about 9 months. - The wine was clear and taste was solid.   So far no appreciable sediment after bottling.</blockquote>
