Directions
By
now you all know how I love to experiment brewing wine with different fruits or
vegetables… Trying out Tomato Wine recipe was in my mind for quite some time
and so I made this a year ago… I was curious to know how the taste & colour
would turn out… surprisingly the wine tasted nice. It is quite a strong wine…
it has a slightly fruity taste and does not really taste like tomatoes… I
really love the golden colour… do give it a try and let me know how you guys
liked it 😊
