Tomato Wine Anyone ?

Gardeneer · July 19, 2017

Has anyone here ever made wine from tomatoes ? Or knows about it ?

The reason I am asking is that I have collected over 2 gallons of Sungold and Esterina grape tomatoes. They are perhaps few of the sweetest and low acid tomatoes that there is.

I have made wine from grapes and purchased grape juice concentrate few tomes in the past. So I know little bit about wine making process, from fermenting, to clarifying, ... bottling etc.

The way I understand, it is the characteristics of the fruit that make the difference in wine. The sugar is converted into alcohol in the process. And the alcohol percent will be proportional to the brix (sugar contents ).

I have also lots of Elderberries that I can flavor with.

Any ideas, comments will be appreciated.
