Thread: Have you ever had sparkling fruit wine?

I never could develop a taste for wine (or most alcohol for that matter, unless it's masked with icecream as with the Grasshopper).
But when I went to California I tried something different. It's not a wine, but I don't understand why. It's a fermented soda. Here's the webpage Fentimans - Ginger Beer, Victorian Lemonade, Orange Jigger, Curiosity Cola, Shandy My favorite was the Rose Lemonade. It was extremely different than what I'm used to (traditional Soda like Coke).

I might see if I can order some one of these days

Yay, the more ladies the merrier. I guess you can come too then, we may need a designated driver anyway.

I have a vague memory of there being another obscure fruit, but I can't remember what it was...
I'm not much of a lemon/lime fan myself, but that strawberry one you mentioned sure sounds tempting!

The only other wine tour I've ever been on was a full day, and ohhhh boy, I really felt it by the end. I think it was the port that killed me.

Aw man, I've gotta try it. >w< I wonder if they do online orders....

Hehe, I want to try the lemon/lime for the limonene. My reasons for drinking are a little different than most I suppose, mm.... But yeah, the strawberry sounds freaking great!! I'm trying that one for sure, I'm going to save it for some classy girls' night drinking.

A day long wine tour sounds freaking tough, the one I did was only like an hour at most haha. I'll bet it was at least educational though!

Those sound really interesting! I'd definitely like to order some too. I'm really interested in the dandelion & burdock.... I actually don't much care for the taste of alcohol either, which is why I mostly drink sparkling wines. They taste more like soda to me. Where in California did you try it, like a brewery or just a shop?
