We make (or made) apple wine - Melrose & Granny Smith. It was our biggest crop & one year we made 70 gallons. We got tired of it, too. Now the apples become apple sauce, or dried apple chips & maybe a pie or two. We still have about 20 gallons of ‘05 & ‘06 & it still tastes good. We break it out when company comes over.
Most folks think it would taste like apples and are surprised when it actually tastes like a very good grape based white wine. the bouquet and mouth feel are always surprisingly pleasant and white wine like too. apples really do make a great wine. I suspect the wine snobs prevent it from really taking off. It’s great to cook with too. My next project is going to be a 45-50 blackberry wine. Should be quite special.
