Just started 6 gallons of cranberry wine. The recipe called for 1# raisins per gallon. After finding out raisin were $2.99 per pound, I split the batch into 2 gallons without raisins and 4 gallons with just to see it they actually made any difference when I was done. Now for the question. Assuming that the cranberry with raisins in decidedly better, is the a less expensive alternative to add body or accomplish whatever else it is that raisins are supposed to account for?
