A pitcher of your finest Kool-Aid wine

Posted by Jonathan Bender on Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 1:30 PM



Sometimes, we here in Fat City come across an item that might just inspire new lows -- or highs -- such as this recipe for Kool-Aid wine.

The recipe raises a lot of interesting questions, like if such a wine would truly improve with age. The recipe suggest that after five years this would not just be a drinkable wine but one you would choose. That seems like the kind of statement someone would make out of confidence that nobody would actually age Kool-Aid wine.

The recipe creator's optimism is, however, commendable:

"In most areas, making your own wine is perfectly legal, but you are not allowed to sell it."

At Winepress.Us, one forum member argues that it probably tastes like "water wine with color." Another suggests that orange Kool-Aid mixed with a peach wine kit made a "pretty decent fuzzy navel wine." With a cost average of $1 per liter (a decent wine will run you $10 for .75 liters), "pretty decent" is a ringing endorsement. 

Cheap wine enthusiasts can also try canned juice concentrate -- although wine doesn't feel like something that should just be a result of whatever is in the pantry.

I'll mention two incidents that stand out in my mind:  One was in a very nice seafood restaurant, water view, all blond wood, where there was an 8-yr. old yelling and tearing around the "maze " of the extra-tall tables & chairs; I was waiting for him to hit a server at knee level and some group, who didn't order them, would be wearing a pitcher of Bloody Mary's and a tray of raw oysters.  To everyone's relief, the parents finally noticed and sent him to amuse himself in an unused section of the dining room.  On another occasion, in a somewhat more casual restaurant,  there was a bored kid climbing over the railing to a low balcony, then squealing as he did "dumpovers" down the carpeted stairs.  How fun; two nearby couples got up and moved to more distant tables.  If parents tolerate this kind of public behavior  in their kids, they should go to fun places like Chuck E. Cheese or McDonald's, where they have actual playgrounds.( I expect Chimpotle will take the time to shred these remarks.)
