Had the World Wide Web been available, it would have been much easier for him to find workable recipes for exotic wines such as banana.
My local Walgreens carries a sweetened red wine called Liberty Creek. This stuff is like a sweet punch.
Ugh!
I have virtually no sweet tooth at all.
That banana wine was more like rocket fuel.
It tasted great and was sweet and smooth and after a glass of it, you suddenly realized that you were legally blind and then came the room-spinning and barfing.
If you threw a little bit on a campfire, it looked like Napalm going off.
Thank God he get bored with it all fairly quickly.
I always got sent into the woods to pick blackberries, raspberries, elderberries and whatnot.
Chiggers are no fun.
