Its cool that you make your own wine Doc. I thought that was a process that took a much longer time.

Re: Thread O'Booze REVISED!
It's stupid easy. (Would I be able to do it if it took skill?). It's just about keeping the carboys clean and siphoning back and forth a few times. The whole process takes about a month. All you need is room for all the shit and to endure the start-up costs of the equipment. After that, it's about a buck a bottle.revbob wrote:Its cool that you make your own wine Doc.

Re: Thread O'Booze REVISED!
My favorite beer. I wish I could like wine more, but I have a very un-refined palate I guess. I like sangria, which is basically like Bartles and James.revbob wrote:Its cool that you make your own wine Doc. I thought that was a process that took a much longer time.

It is very cool that Doc makes wine.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Re: Thread O'Booze REVISED!
I've never had sangria. Whenever I've thought about ordering it, I feared it would just be mildly alcoholic kool-aid.JennyB wrote:I like sangria, which is basically like Bartles and James.

Re: Thread O'Booze REVISED!
I try to avoid sweetened booze. The sugar gives me the quick boost that turns to a crash headache. The only sangria I really have liked is the white wine variety (Sav. Blanc or something).Dr. Medulla wrote:I've never had sangria.

Re: Thread O'Booze REVISED!
Anyone own an oak bottle? I have some airmiles to cash in soon and in the catalogue I came across this thing, a bottle made of oak that claims to seriously elevate the taste of the booze poured into it, assuming you let it sit for a day or two. It's going for a couple hundred dollars on Amazon and there's no way I'd ever spend real money on that, but blowing airmiles is another thing.
