Pineapple wine does NOT turn out smelling wonderful. Smells like vomit (as my wife said).

That is all

I imagine it does. Does it taste like it too?

 

[dralarms]

Not that brave. If it smells that bad I ain't tasting it.

Add some coconut

Add some coconut

That made it worse.

No kidding! I can't remember what my pineapple fermented like but I added coconut extract to it and it actually turned out to be a pretty tasty wine.

I'm still waiting for the 40 bottles of green tomato wine to turn the corner into something good, been going on 2.5 years

Mine fermented fine, smelled wonderful. Then as it aged it started smelling worse and worse. Opened the carboy this morning and thought I was going to choke to death before I could get it poured out..

Yes, lesson of the day "just because it sounds good doesn't make it so"

My pineapple wine didn't smell bad at all during fermentation or after. I didn't care for it as a young wine. But I left one bottle for a year and it was very good. I took that last bottle to a party with other wine drinkers and they all thought it was very good. Something must have gone wrong or you need to let it age.

You should have bottled it for those leeches that are always looking for a free bottle.

The only pineapple that I've made that turned out good was Skeeter Pee. I made a batch of Pee and back sweetened with Old Orchard Pineapple Concentrate.
