Wine-Cola

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

So I'm downstairs and I'm hungry as hell. I'm making some stew. I throw in some beans, rice, and pretty much whatever is in the bottom of the sink. More of a gumbo I rather.

I spot, in the corner of my eye, a bottle of what I will call... **** wine.

Its vintage 2008. Cabernet sauvignon but I cannot remember where its made. Its like a $5 bottle. I pour it in the stew and it smells really good. I think "I couldnt drink this straight up".

I get it in my head that maybe I should pour some wine into my pepsi, so I do.

GUYS THIS TASTES REALLY GOOD.

Hell, I'll try it…

Aren't you like 5?

[D+F+P=Hadouken!]

Don't hate, ingurgitate.

In Hungary they drink red wine mixed with coca-cola.
I forget what they call it in hungarian now, but you can order it everywhere.

Something I just recently found at a liquor store in Delaware... Gluehwein. Basically, it's spiced red wine (cinnamon etc), which is heated up and consumed hot. It's traditionally served in the open-air Christmas markets in Germany (maybe elsewhere, but that's where I know it from). Absolutely perfect on a cold day.

Ack.
That''s all.
Nothing else.
Just 'Ack.'

You need to try glögg. Similar to glühwein, only much much better.

Sounds like a variety of mulled wine..... hot, spiced, usually sweetened..... great stuff

Add fruit juice to wine and you have a reasonable sangria.

Add club soda to wine and you have a nice spritzer.

But adding cola? Too sweet for my taste, but when it comes to taste there is no right or wrong; only what you like.

It really depends on the wine. You'd go to hell if you did this with anything costing more than $10 for the bottle.

However, with cheap, vintage tommorow wine, this is really awesome. I tried it with sprite too, and that was good. Vanilla coke is good. Pretty much everything is good.

Yum!!!! As my family has Sweedish roots, I second this recommendation.

But sprite and wine is just a type of spritzer. You can get that at restaurants.

That's a sin, I don't care if it's a Foxbrook or a 2 buck Chuck.

Yes, it is very popular over there recently. I still say it's a sin, though .

This.

Recently? I don't know...it was pretty popular even back in 1988, when I was in Hungary for the first time.

(But I agree with you; it's foul stuff!)

1. do not cook with wine you would not drink

2. buy decent wine and drink it

3. do not put things in the wine -- certainly not ice cubes

4. Gluehwein you drink apres ski, nowhere else.
