Did a quick Google and saw:

"On an oddly interesting note, evidently Onion Red Wine is all the rage now amongst the health nuts in China as a cancer preventative"

Would this be a real piko wine?

Bump, i want to know as well!
I havent grown any onions yet, so cant say ill e doing anything for another month or so at least.
Is there even any sugar in them?

Brave or stupid...I'm not sure :wha: ....but I'm going to give the onion wine a bash!!!
I'm going to half the recipe and do a 2.5L with white onions, and a 2.5L with red onions to see if that makes any difference to the final result!

Bought all my ingredients last night, got a 3L milk carton ready for one of them, just gotta wait for the other one in the fridge to be empty so I can put them both on at the same time :)

Rather looking forward to this experiment :

I recently came across a recipe which included onions. However it did stress that this was for cooking, not sipping.

sounds like a pie recipe more than a wine recipe.

gonna see how this one turns out on here, might do some for my friend for a laugh - he eats onions like apples!

 

[StubbsPKS]

Oh man, I'll be following this one. Can't WAIT for the pictures and horror stories :sick: :sick:

 

[Sasquatch]

I always thought onions made you cry not whine! :wha:

 

[bobsbeer]

Did anyone ever attempt this wine? :?

 

[alanywiseman.]

It is on my to do list. Fingers crossed I will have it started within a month. I will post pic when it is up and brewing :thumb:

i set a dj of this on the go on Friday it looks interesting to say the least, smells like a retirement home , in the recipe i found it said to use sweet onions which i didnt have so just used regular and added enough sugar to give me a sg of 1.120 so even if it tastes bad you wont care after a couple

 

[Brewtrog]

Has anyone actually got to the finished product yet? What did it taste like?
