A little ticked off

[MedPretzel]

I have to say I am not a subscriber to WineMaker Magazine. Sorry for that right off the bat.


But I was considering to enter in a wine in their annual contest. And there is not enough country wine classes listed. If anyone can look, what do you think Class 44 is? Is that flower/vegetable wine or is it flower/vegetable mead?

Does it have honey? If so, it is mead or metheglin or melomel. If no honey, not mead.

 

[MedPretzel]

well it doesn't say. there's a listing of categories, and flower/veggie is packed between some other mead category and herb/spice mead.





But the point is, there's no class for flower/petal/herb WINE..... Or Herb/Spice WINE... Ya know?

I think kit wines are put too high on a pedestal in that magazine. It's a good magazine for people who make kit wines, but I have never really gotten much out of the issues I've gotten my hands on. Sorry, my review - I hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings by saying so. It's very thin for it's price, but I'm cheap, so I know it's probably just me who thinks so.

Some of the issues are very thin, like the last one, but some are really great. Unfortunately, it is the best one out there and they focused on the main stream while they built their base of subscribers. I am hoping that they will start expanding their articles. I personally would like to understand more about the chemistry going on.


As an aside, everything is perspective. I always felt they did not spend enough time on kit wines, until recently.

medpretzel, I make my living making the shiny white paper that magazine is printed on, please see if you can swing a subscription...for me

 

[MedPretzel]

I will try... Maybe one day, when I'm rich and famous... hehehe

 

[AAASTINKIE]

I was suppossed to be rich by now, but it didn't work out as planned, so please buy the magazine...LOL

 

[MedPretzel]

That would be easier said than done, Stinkie.

 

[AAASTINKIE]

me getting rich or you buying the magazine??...lol..I know the me getting rich one didn't pan out.

Martina, if I send you all my issues to read, will you send them back when ever you have read them all cover to cover?

 

[MedPretzel]

No, no, Glenvall. That is sooooo sweet of you, but I know me. I'd forget to send them back. It'd just be a disaster, and you'd end up being ticked off with me.





I guess I won't send in my mumwine this year since I have no clue as to which category it should go in. Ah, that will help my change-purse!

There is always another county fair every year!
