WILD CHERRY JUICE

[NorthernWinos]

Was in the grocery store the other day with my hubby, we were checking out the juice section...he found some WILD CHERRY juice, not sure of the brand....he wants us to try a gallon of wine out of it....Usually he's not into suggestions like that...We have never made one gallon batches of wine.

Anyone ever used it???I will read the label next trip in there and see about any additives...Edited by: Northern Winos

No but it sounds good. I bought a bottle of sweet dark cherry and
opened when I got home expecting to make wine with it but when I tried
it it was nasty. Poured it down the drain as nobody in the house liked
it.

Hummm....wonder why it tasted bad...was it one of those 'healthy' drinks???

I wonder what type of flavor it would of fermented into though? Can you describe the "nasty" taste?

I fear wade's taste sensories have been jaded by the Black Currant. No longer shall any other fruit be acceptable to his palate

NW: I have made Cherry wine out of (what was labeled) 100% real Black Cherry juice. It was in the healthy foods are ( A place I rarely go to

) Along with 4 cans of sweet cherries packed in water. I made 2 gallons and it fermented fine, cleared fine, but just seems flat tasting. This has come up in other threads and there has been no suggestions as to making it taste more exciting, so mine is still under glass. I may go down and experiment with it some more. So far, the best I could get it, was by adding WE grape concentrate, it gave it body and sweetness, but still aflat taste. What type of acid would one add at this point to give it balance? Maybe thats the problem.

Thats almost a gurantee if it is bad as a juice...more than likely it wil taste like$%^& as wine............

I still have Vintners Cherry going so cant say how this will be.
