Default Milk wine / kefir?

Anyone ever made this? I thought kefir was more of a beverage made from a very specific culture, but I came across a recipe that uses Champagne yeast. I also found a milk wine recipe that uses the Champagne yeast and Lactaid (to break the milk sugar down into fermentable sugars).
Just curious how it comes out and what it tastes like.

That's why I'm asking....

Rhubarb wine doesn't sound like it should be good, but plenty of people seem to like it.

Marc, everytime I here about a new "fermented beverage" I think I have heard it all.

Thats changes that idea. You HAVE TO let us know how this one works. Post a recipe. This is interesting. LOL

been wanting to get a copy of that Luc, I HAVE read excerpts and sounds like a decent book. Only trouble is, if there is a recipe like this in there it most likely involves Moose milk, and how in the world is a guygal gonna milk a Moose?LOL

I've been up close to many Moose and they are large, confident and most of the time ornery! I also heard they could care less about wine, even though Moose Merlot has a catchy ring to it.
