Also, if the French wine makers went to church more often and took their wine with them, perhaps the wine wouldn’t loose it soul from burning under Satan’s heat. (LOL)
Too bad, so sad. Drink Texas wine! Texas has some excellent wines, and vineyards are springing up in all parts of this Great State, since the soil and climate are very similar to some parts of France. Here in my little neck of northeast Texas there are two that I know of, and both have tasting rooms.
Texas Wine and Grapegrowers Association:
When the muzzies finish their takeover of France, the vineyards will be destroyed anyway.
And not only that, but here in northeast Texas on Aug. 13th at 4:15 p.m. it’s only 86 degrees! It has to be a record for the coolest Aug. 13th ever. I know I don’t remember it being anything other than upper 90’s to low 100’s in August and I’ve lived here all my life.
My folks used to make this all the time using frozen grape juice concentrate. Dad said it kicked butt. They used big glass wine jugs instead of milk jugs...I’m sure I have a few of those around here, LOL!
Homemade Wine
“This is an easy recipe for homemade wine. You will need a sterile milk jug, a large latex balloon and a rubber band to complete the project. This wine is a bit stronger than regular table wine. It’s great for cooking as well as drinking.”
Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast (2 & 1/4 tsp.)
4 cups sugar
1 (12 fluid ounce) can frozen juice concentrate - any flavor except citrus, thawed
3 1/2 quarts cold water, or as needed
Directions:
1. Combine the yeast, sugar and juice concentrate in a gallon jug. Fill the jug the rest of the way with cold water. Rinse out a large balloon, and fit it over the opening of the jug. Secure the balloon with a rubber band.
2. Place jug in a cool dark place. Within a day you will notice the balloon starting to expand. As the sugar turns to alcohol the gasses released will fill up the balloon.
When the balloon is deflated back to size the wine is ready to drink. It takes about 6 weeks total.

Wisconsin makes a lot of wine...see my post above and you can make your own, too!
My favorite local winery is Wollersheim Winery; their ‘Prairie Fume’ is awesome!
What temperature rise??? Global temperatures are decreasing.
Good, most French wine is over priced swill.
Eau Neaux!
That’s my kind of girl!
“Eau Neaux!”
LOL! :)
France is going Muslim pretty soon. There won’t be any more French wine anyway.
I think there’s an ad for Greenpeace over on Keg’s List.

“If nothing is done to reduce carbon emissions, the world map of wine would be changed forever with the country’s vineyards moving 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) south by the end of the century, they warned.”
Wouldn’t they be moving the other way if the world is getting warmer? Then we might see Swedish wines replace the French product.
Well, the *idea* is the important thing. ;’)
