How to turn wine into a high-explosive ???

I'm a mad scientist and I want to blow up the planet.

How can I turn wine into an explosive, that will nuke the whole solar system ?

Good! I've noticed it seems to have deflated a bit over the years. I just didn't know anyone with big enough lips and lung capacity to reinflate the poor thing. Thanks for volunteering! B-{)

The only wine that might suffice for that is the fine Pinot Grand Fenwick from the Duchy of Grand Fenwick. It makes a great rocket fuel, and with some tinkering, you might make it blow up.

Unfortunately, the Fenwick production levels probably won't support nuking the solar system. Sorry.

I'll let you get back to adding your hot air to the planet! B-{)

I don't know the answer but I will forward your query to Homeland Security. I believe they will be very interested in helping you.

Well, I've heard that tomato wine can be jolly unpleasant. Apparently onion can be a bit iffy while its fermenting.

Wine will not convert into an explosive, but vinegar will. For a small-level demonstration, do this on your kitchen counter so you can dump it into sink.

Pour 4 oz of vinegar into a plastic cup. Add 1 tsp of red pepper Add 1 raw egg (crack it open and do not let any of the shell fall in) Stir vigorously for 15 seconds.

Place the egg shell on a paper towel, roll up the paper towel, and break the egg shell into several pieces

Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Add the mashed up egg shell.

As the egg shell contacts the liquid it give a short pop.

The 'padded wallpaper' establishment has shown interest in getting to know young Tristan as well...

...but in order to assist, he may like to look at cabbage wine. With the aid of plastic bag collectors, he'll soon have enough methane to cause a stir.

You distill enough wine into pure alcohol. You drench the whole planet Earth with those alcohol, and you light a match to it. The whole planet Earth will go WHOOOOOM and burst into a humongous fireball and then whooooshing around in space like a run away rubber balloon and knock out all other planets in the solar system.

You can always ferment in a really tightly sealed container. Couple problems with that - you don't know when it'll go, and it's a ltille tough to get enough grape juice to take out the solar system.
