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

That makes two of us, Hooty! I started college in 1971…need I say more? BFAW was the favorite of all the hippies on campus. And I get a blinding headache just thinking about it.

You and me both. Yuck.

I tried some Boone's Farm several years ago, and it was just awful, LOL!

But Hey, it was the 70's, right!

My husband makes balloon wine. It's pretty good too. Don't think he's made apple wine. I'd rather have apple Schnapps or peach Schnapps.

Sounds great! I love apple and pear ciders, would the wine be similar but without the carbonation?

I haven't made it but I buy it and drink in place of traditional wine made from grapes. I live in New Hampshire and there is a great orchard here called Farnum Hill and they bottle and sell it through New England and I think now even into New York and New Jersey. It is light and crisp and a great alternative to any white wine.

I was a freshman in college in 1970 and when I read this thread, the very first thing that I thought of was Boone's Farm. Got sick on that many a time. LOL!

Many years ago, I bought some unpasteurized cider. I forgot about it, then one day I was cleaning out Mr Fridge-the cider was all the way in the back. I didn't think it could possibly be good, but as I was pouring it down the drain, I caught a whiff....dare I try it? I did-and got quite tipsy!!! It tasted like champagne! Poodlepet
