Watermelon wine

[Thomas]

Stacy,

You have to understand that this is a die-hard group of wine consumers.

Aside from that, from a technical standpoint, the grape is the only fruit that comes packed with all the ingredients necessary to make wine without human intervention. That fact alone makes the definition of the word "wine" apply to grapes. But it also makes others wonder why people attempt to make wine from other fruits and plants that need tons of additions in order to ferment to a reasonable alcohol level, and after they do ferment they hardly ever produce anything near as full of finesse as a good wine.

The other thing that Alex points out is food. Many of us think wine is an extension of the meal.

I'm telling you all this to let you know why the reaction to your watermelon project. If it's your hobby, go at it with all the gusto you have. But some of us simply don't understand the effort, for the reasons I gave above.
