My wife and visited a winery recently. They must have had millions of dollars in machinery including wine presses and centrifuges and seed separators and whatever.
When we got to the holding tank where held the wine just before bottling, I asked if they could punch a hole in the side and get me a straw.
I remember the first time my dad made wine out of grapes we grew in the backyard. They weren’t bad grapes; raw, they tasted lovely, and they were varieties bred for wine production, and we’d made wine as a family before, from wine grape juice purchased commercially. But harvesting at the right time is an art, apparently, and often a large part of what makes a vineyard successful. My dad uncorked the first bottle and poured us both a glass as we stood in the kitchen. We both took a sip. Then, without another word or any hesitation, we both turned and poured the rest right down the sink. :-D
They used to sell frozen fruit concentrate at the grocery stores. You would mix one can of, say, orange concentrate with 3 cans of water to make orange juice. They also had apple and grape. If you made grape juice from concentrate and left it in the fridge for about 2 weeks, it started to ferment. You could see bubbles form and it tasted like wine. Got a good buzz off that.

the popsicles aren’t the only things melting too slowly… so is Roger’s common sense

this is the arc where his “wine” (a.k.a vinegar) becomes acidic like Alien blood?

He should fire up the BBQ. Melt in microseconds.

His melted Desenex foot powder and the gunk from between his toes add just the right amount to the constancy.

But Boone’s Farm is lot cheaper. And really colorful when you’re hugging the throne.

popsicles are sugar water with grape flavoring, I doubt a real grape had anything to do with their manufacture

I get it, Roger. Winemaking is a LONG process! I didn’t have the patience. That’s why I made beer!

Rogers gets his knowledge of wine making from watching the"I love Lucy" episode.

I guess this is pretty funny, but Roger is such a blockhead.
