Punk IPA in a Nelson Sauvin drought

[daf]

It seems that we won't be getting any more Nelson Sauvin until next year, according to my LHBS. I was intending to do a Punk IPA clone, using:

Chinook
Ahtanum
Columbus
Simcoe
Cascade
Nelson Sauvin

However - no Nelson Sauvin....

...I'm sure it won't make a blinc bit of difference with all the others in there - but what would happen if I chucked a bottle of sauvignon blanc into the fermenting vessel - would it give me those winey notes of would it FUBAR the whole thing?

Maltmiller has 2014 pellets in stock.

Or you use an older Punk IPA recipe which doesn't use Nelson Sauvin

I might just go with what I've got to be honest. Last hop bomb I made (Columbus, Simcoe, Cascade and Apollo) went down a treat.

Still wondering about bunging in a bottle of vin plonk - anyone tried it?

Punk IPA needs Nelson like

I'll tell you what, here's an experiment for you. Get a hoppy beer and cut it with some wine. That will give you an idea of how good that works. I suspect it won't.
