The Fake Wine Attempts Continue

Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been trying a mix of cranberry and grape juice, equal parts of each, or on their own, or diluted in a lot of water to help me drink more of it. So far so good, but it does not taste remotely like wine. On its own it’s way too sweet so I decided to try a cold infusion of tea in equal parts cranberry apple cocktail and grape juice. What this meant in practice was leaving a black teabag in a cup of this mix, covered with an upside down plate in the fridge, overnight. My hope was for it to be less sweet and more flavorful. It didn’t work. Will continue to try to improve on it.
