It would have a different flavor profile but it would work and likely very well.

It turned out very well. In fact, it took best of show at the Nebraska State Fair a few years ago. Like all port-style wines, it's sweet but the alcohol kick offsets the sweetness.

I've made several Amarone kits and personally I'd go with a higher end - not necessarily top of the line - with a grape pack. Just my $.02.

Yummy too! I've made two batches of mango mead in the past few years.

I love blackberry wine - it's one of my favorites! Good luck!

I stopped degassing my wine a few years ago, opting for lengthy bulk aging. I now bulk age for a minimum of a year and never have any residual gas problems.
