I just went to a party where I as usual provided a selection of my wines. Everyone liked them and drank them to the last drop. But the comment I got at the end was, "When will you make some more of your concord?"

So there ya go... Now you know why, when I do make it, I make 20 gallons at a time!!!



Let the thread live on!!!

Yep, same here. We had our annual employee party and I brought 3 different wines. Needless to say this one was gone within minutes. Second was DD's Dragon's Blood, and last was my dry. However I think I'll knock the grape taste down from 4 cans per gallon to 3 cans per gallon. I like a "little" wine taste.

Hey guys I was just asked if my wine can expire after a while... It is capped not corked... And from what I have experienced I don't see any type of taint and it's been at least 4-5 months thanks guys LMK!

Please, you can call me Dave.

Anyway, though a lot of people like welchs wine, I'm thinking some grapes just don't hold the characteristics needed for great wines. Now don't get me wrong I'm not saying ,I'm pouring it out, oh no, I just won't be making it any more. Especially if it's going to get me in trouble with "The Moderator". ::

Don't worry Dave, not much of a threat from John. Now if Julie starts threatening you, best watch out. You mite have to dust the corner, tho. Hasn't been used in a long time. Arne.

Too bad to hear you were bullied into not making it anymore. It is one of nature's true gems. The rest of us will continue on.

 

[JimmyT]

If I stopped making it I'd have some pretty upset friends to deal with!

Yes last nite I dreamt I stood in front of the mirror, I had Wine Snob Snob Wine words all over me, one on top of the other, just all over the place, on me.

It's not so bad. When I go by the frozen juice department I just close my eyes and keep walking. Ok..maybe I do gently drag my finger along the glass door, whispering to myself, baby steps...baby steps.

Yep now a days you'll find me just hanging around the frozen berries section. Reminiscing about the...ssshhh.....think I hear, The Moderator...gotta run and hide in another thread.

To be serious for a moment.. There is nothing wrong with making wine that you like. I do a lot of kidding around but, when serious, believe that you should make what you like. If that means making Welch's or from frozen fruit, or even jelly, Go for it!

Tastes differ and no one's taste is better than anyone else's.

Just finished a 5 gallon batch of Welch's, used the concentrate 6 cans, but instead of adding water I use Welch's grape juice. Seems to be very full bodied due to no water. Will set back for several months and see how it is after aging. I back sweetned with simple syrup as I do not like dry wines.

That will be a bold wine for sure. Let us know how it turns out.
