Cherry Wine???

[dandan]

Everytime I go shopping I now tend to look at things and think 'that could be used for wine', yesterday I went to lidl for some apple juice to make some TC! and instead came out with:
some Marston's Burton Bitter (99p each)
some red grape juice and white grape juice (about 80p each they have been reduced by 4p I think!!)
and two of these jars of Cherrys in syrup (99p each)

Anyone have a recomended recipe to make a cherry wine??

blend them, add the red grape juice, some yeast and then tell us if it tastes anygood?

SWEET BLACK ANGEL (its actually SOUR Black Angel)
2 litres ocean spray cranberry
2 litres red grape juice
1 jar lidl pitted cherries mushed to a pulp
Topped up with grape juice
Champagne yeast

Sweet black angel is very sour and extremely dry - you can make it less so by using five alive berry burst instead of cranberry as it contains non fermentable sweetners.

I made this one a while ago with the same cherries from lidl, now trawling my way through it. Made it with cranberry & grape juices, then topped up with five alive after I racked it off. Bottled and primed. The result is somethink akin to a slightly sweet fizzy red wine, but not as full on as a red wine. TBH its not overly sour, I cant really taste the cherries, so go for 2 jars and it might have more of a hit.

Give it a try, if you dont like it just palm it off onto someone else...
