Strong alcohol content wine.

[tigerthekid]

Does anyone know of a wine recipe that ends up with a high alcohol content? Preferably measured out to be made in a 6-gallon carboy. I've made several wine kits and want to start experimenting. And for this wine, I'd like to make something pretty strong but hopefully not horrible

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

You can make any wine with a high abv by upping the amount of sugar but why may I ask do you really want to do this? Why dont you make a port! They usually have a lot of flavor and a abv around 18%. Waldo and Jobe have both made Blackberry Ports. I have tasted Jobes and it is out of this world good! You can even make a normal strong flavor wine and add Everkleer to it which is 180 proof or just add Vodka till right.

For the port, does Geo sell kits here for them? What port would you recommend for a first port?

Thanks again

I have made both the Mosti La Bodega and the W.E. Rasp. Choc. and they are both out of this world good. I also have he Orange Choc Port on order as we speak and may try to squeak in a White Choc port.
