I found this quart of juice at Trader Joes. It tastes like a very dry red wine, as it is, unfermented. But I do not like very dry wines, so I willnot try to ferment this. Maybe someone else could give it a go though?

I've heard of Aronia wine being made in Eastern Europe, IIRC. Aronia is noted for its high tannins, hence the name "chokeberry". I planted a handful of the bushes last year and plan to experiment with using the berries to supplement the deficient tannins of my FA Hybrids. I may try some store bought juice on a few gallons just to get an idea. I already add 3%-5% fresh blackberries to the field blended red I make, and find it is an effect I like.
