Hello, Some time ago, we were talking about blending and such, & I just thought I'd share my "blended wine" experience. I had a lot of leftover (2 bottles)strawberry, (2 bottles) pumpkin/blackberry, & (1+bottle)dandelion top-up from various batches. I threw them all together in a gallon jug, called it "Mystery Red Wine", and decided to let it sit and see what happened. It was bottled in December 03. Over the weekend, we finally tried a bottle. To my surprise, it was very good, and very drinkable as a light red wine. It's hard to describe the taste...there was no dandelion taste, nor strictly speaking any blackberry or pumpkin, but every now and then, I could catch a hint of strawberry. It had about a 12% alcohol by volume (maybe a bit higher). Interesting result, and I'd definitely try blending again. Darlene Wisconsin, USA
