Mmmm, I could go for a fine Merlot, with just a hint of rat feces...

[hoosierham]

That just stinks

Rainsville is about 70 miles from me. Lots of good Baptists in that area. And the snake-handlers are just down the mountain in Jackson County.

Do they stomp their own grapes? Hope they wash their feet first

A winery at a sewage plant? Who would buy such a wine?

[Red Badger]

Life imitates art!..............

“It’s legal to make limited amounts of wine at home in Alabama, but it’s illegal to have more than 15 gallons of homemade wine or beer at a time.”

All about control & taxes.

But try to find a story about the illegal pot export operation in Oregon originating from growers with ‘excess’ ganga...

What is their motto?

“Our wine tastes like crap?”

Sludge Winery: “With a bouquet of raw sewage, our wines definitely taste like sh*t. Try our flagship brand, 2-Buck Yuck.”

“It’s in the water!”

[SpaceBar]

That’s about 70 gallons of dago red under airlock.

Now that’s one wine I think I’ll “regift” to some despised relative this Christmas.

[TangoLimaSierra]

So what food goes with a nice brown wine?

[gov_bean_ counter]

This wine tastes like ****.

Too easy.

[wildcard_redneck]

I have no problem with moonshiners, they are the original Americans, but to do it in a sewage treatment plant? That is just wrong.

Hmmmm, I'm getting hints of corn and chocolate. No wait, that's probably fecal matter, with hints of urine. This one is too early and need to age.

Why make wine in Alabama? In Georgia, the only wine I know of being made locally was Muscatel.

In Alabama they make moonshine. One of my co-corkers described his operation in Opelika that helped fund his college education. He was rightfully proud of the finished product, but made me promise not to let his children know what he used to do.
