Pour 1 gallon of hot tap water into a large (6 quart?) bowl. The biggest yellow Tupperware one works great. Stir in 1 packet of dry yeast and a 4-pound bag of sugar. Add 1 quart of chopped red raw tomatoes (although I think your mother's canned ones would work just fine). I chopped mine up in the food processor. Don't bother to peel them, if you use raw ones. Stir all together and cover loosely. Stir twice a day for 12 days, then on the 12th or 13th day, strain through progressively finer strainers until it's fairly smooth. (It won't be clear.) Pour into bottles. I used two plastic 2-quart cranberry juice bottles and one glass whiskey bottle. Set the bottle caps on top, but do not screw them on. Age at room temperature 6-8 weeks, then pour off to get rid of yeast sediment in bottom of bottle.

LOL sounds like one of my trips down the basement of an old bartenders house I use to know before he died. He made wine from everything. Fruits, vetables. even weeds. It was pretty potent to say the least and sometimes a trip to the basement to get a taste turned into a 4 hr ordeal that ended with a person crawling on his hands and knees to get out of the basement and out to your vehicle. Most of the time you just went to the vehicle to sleep it off. ;D

Nope. It is a red though, perhaps best with red meat. I spilled a bunch at the last place I lived - in Dubuque. I tried corking the wine too soon. I paid $500 to clean it up and $650 lost in deposit. The house had a bouquet, I thought was quite pleasant. Evidently opinions differ in such things. Perhaps the most expensive wine I have had since I lost my expense account.
My experience with dandelion wine --- impairs judgment, impairs logic, impairs reasoning, impairs speech, impairs ability to stand up. Promotes regurgitation, dizziness, headaches (eventually)yet otherwise a temporarily pleasant feeling of well being.

Love the Elderberry wine Donnie but it caused a intestinal reaction. First it got me drunk and then I got a reaction from the wine that gave me the shits. Problem is when your too drunk to get up you shit yourself. Not a pretty sight.
