“Do not ~ever~ make or drink banana wine.”

That’s funny! We make fruit wines (mostly apple, cherry, plum, pear & blackberry - the fruit we have on our property). One year for the fun of it I decided to launch a batch of banana wine. The recipe I used called for dry banana chips. It smelled like very sour milk in the primary fermenter & I was sure I was going to have to throw it out. But I decided to see where it went & as time went on the sour milk smell tapered off. It was gone when we finally bottled it & after two years in the bottle was a fairly pleasant wine. It didn’t taste like banana, but it wasn’t bad.
