Has anyone made wine out of apples?

I suppose it's hard work, I'm thinking using my Vita-mix.

Gloriajean , no but I love my vitamix and hope you will find humor when I tell you as I was looking down the forum list, I read your header as: has anyone ever made out with an apple. :-)

Keep in mind that apples are a laxative..............

No but DH has made wine using Welch's Peach Juice & I think the other was Welch's Cherry Juice from frozen concentrate. We used some of the peach wine for smoking/cooking pork on the grill. Check out this site if you are interested. It's very interesting. https://archive.org/details/oldtimerecipesfo00wrig Old Time recipes for homemade wines, cordials, liqueurs from fruits, flowers, vegetables & shrubs. If you make the apple wine please post back with your results.

I tasted a very good apple wine at a vendor tasting. I thought it would taste like cider, but it didn't.

Are you going to use your winemaking kit to try it out?

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

Many years ago my Grandpa made gallons of hard cider from an abundant apple crop, but he also made wine from the other fruits that grew on the farm.

Back in the 70's I drank a fair share of Boone's Farm Apple Wine!

Re: Has anyone made wine out of apples?

Never from apples but several years back during a tour of a winery I bought a bottle of cherry wine. I should have tried it first but didn't. When I got home and opened it, it tasted like cough syrup, I had to dump it out!
