Why, we wonder, can't people just leave wine the way it is? First they added sugar-free sweetener to it. Now we have a "new wine craze" straight out of Cherry Valley, Ohio: Fruiteasers. Emerine Estates Winery has created a line of wine that uses a base such as chardonnay, riesling or merlot then adds in various fruits including apple, peach, blueberry and pineapple to create "exotic fruit wines." Now, we don't mind old-fashioned wines made out of fruit (other than grapes). But why boost wines that naturally may have notes such as pineapple (riesling) or blueberries (merlot) with actual fruit? Or in the case of Seduction, a pinot noir with coffee, mocha, vanilla, cherries and chocolate. Are the wines themselves not enough?
More of the head-scratching offerings here - Strawberry Shortcake Wine anyone? Speaking of cake, this wine definitely takes it: "As seen on TV, its true (sic!), a 100% pure Chardonnay with Amish butter." No, we're not making this up. The name of the wine? Tear Drops. How a propos.
