Title: Wine
Post by: Pattimac on May 28, 2009, 23:43:29 PM: I seem to remember some time ago postings about home made wine that can be bought in Uzumlu in a shop somewhere. Can anyone say where it can be bought and is it nice or not. Thanks

Post by: philrose on May 29, 2009, 05:49:56 AM: Most of the shops and bars in Uzumlu seem to have a stash of it, usually sold in litre coke bottles. Personaly I think you would be best off using it as drain cleaner :)

After the second litre you don't know and don't care what it tastes like.

Post by: Pattimac on May 29, 2009, 12:43:39 PM: So to recap - most of the shops and bars sell it in litre coke bottles but it's not nice to drink. Thanks for replies

Post by: Scunner on May 29, 2009, 14:41:49 PM: First time I tried it I just assumed I'd got a glass from a bad bottle, that it had corked. No corks on these coke bottle I learned, so I had got the genuine article in it's most splendid form.

The first time I tried it was in fact the last time I tried it.

Post by: pookie on May 30, 2009, 09:28:11 AM: to be fair Pattimac - it varies a great amount ! One of the villagers gave us a bottle of his own produce and actually it was quite pleasant even Mr Pookie (who works in the wine industry and knows about these things..) said that it was good. But I do believe the said gentlemen had fortified it with a little brandy (or possibly tractor fluid) ! - it was very port like and not like the normal village vinegar at all. He and his wife came around with bags of olives etc, sat out our kitchen table and demolished a couple of bottles (Mrs villager didn't of course, she sat there tutting at him all night saying how naughty it was of him !!). But Mr Pookie seemed to enjoy it well enough :D
