Title: The Old Dogs into the Watermelon Wine again
Post by: AL WORRELLS KID on March 02, 2021, 12:49:18 PM: Here's your chance to try again making that Homemade Watermelon Wine (without all the mess.) Today, Grocery Outlet Store is selling 11.16 FL OZ of 100% Watermelon Juice for only .50 cents each.
So with 25.36 ounces in a 750 ml bottle and with a little sugar added, that's making it for less than $1.00 a bottle.
Watermelon Wine is a wine that is best made sweet. Dry watermelon wine... doesn’t really taste like much of anything. But at that price it might be worth trying to make it Sweet, one more time!

You need to be closer to Moses Lake if you are making dandelion wine. Haven't had that for over 50 years now.

Back in the day, Mom and Dad used to make a Great "Tomato" Wine.
