My wife is Gluten intolerant and she likes the Wine Coolers, but we all know those are malt beverage and they make her extremely ill. I would like to know has anyone ever tried to brew this type of beverage. I also would like a recipe for one.
Some "wine coolers" are actually a vodka based drink. Something to think about.
My wife has brewed a few of the "island mist" wine kits that remind me more of wine coolers than wine. Very fruity and relatively low ABV. I've suggested we start carbonating and serving it from a keg in the future.
I would look that route if your looking for something very wine-coolerish.

dayflyer55 said:I would just try some Bacardi daiquiri concentrate and brew it up like you would a hard lemonade. Mix concentrate with water, maybe add a little sugar, dissolve in boiling water. Let it ferment to about 5% abv or whatever you want, then bottle. Let it carb for a day or two, then bottle pasteurize to kill the yeast. (there's a sticky for this in the cider forum). Do this for lemonade all the time, turns out great and actually tasting like lemonade.
