^^^ Wait till my ice wine that I made is ready to drink....that stuff is going to be off the chains.....It sucks that I have to wait so long for it to age, but its so worth it.....I popped open a bottle of this Shiraz that I made a month or two ago, and I was like, hmmm......Its alright, popped the same kind two days ago, and it tasted pretty good, Id say it'd be awesome prolly around new years...mwuahaha =)

mmm, used to be a huge wino, liked the red wine most, but that was never good for "sippin in the sun" so I'd ussually keep my flavoured wine stock for those times.

mmm, stop yer making me jealous haha
I used to work at a wine brewery so I made a couple batches of this tropical fruit stuff with extra % of alcohol that tasted like apple juice if you added ice...hadda be carefull drinking it if you had to function later hehe. It was soo good, wish I could get some more, but now it would cost to much for a batch, oh well, the less booze for me the better.

I was told it's the sulphites in the wine that cause the headache. Sulphites are used as a preservative in most wines, but that shit was the stuff we used to clean the bottles out at the U-brew.
With the stuff that I made it obvioulsy didn't have any sulphites in it and I could drink quite a few bottles and be drunk with no hangover or headaches, but the store bought stuff gives me mad headaches and killer hangovers if I drink more then a bottle at a time. Next time you buy a bottle of wine look for some small print on the bottom of the label that says if it contains sulphites. Un-fortunately most of them will have tonnes of the stuff in it, I've only seen a few bottles/brands that didn't have any, can't remeber which ones now.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I was the exact same way, I used to be very pro beer, but now, I'm starting to become more concious of carbs, and since the only beer I liked was Guinness, and various others stouts, that become a problem, until of course I discovered, a nice bottle of Kerner, then became familiar with other variants like the Gwertraminer's, Rieslings, Pinot Auxerrois', etc. From there I was curious as to what others there were, and then of course, the whole make it yourself thing started coming into play. I haven't looked back since =)
