    expensive indeed - although...

    alternatively, there are make-your-own-wine stores that offer to make ice wine, and it costs considerably less per bottle than what you buy in the stores, and it's just as sweet and tasty - my cousins had made some, and it's pretty awesome.

    Wow, that sounds absolutely amazing. You are very blessed to have friends like that....

    ...also, to stay on topic, ice wine IS very delicious, but if you buy the less-expensive kind the yum-factor plummets. It becomes a little too tart for my tastes.

    Its not hard.
    I prefer beer, but I got a batch bottle conditioning and a batch fermenting right now. The only real difference between wine and beer is the sugar source and that beer is bittered on purpose.

    the grapes are left on the vine for one frost, and after that frost they are distilled into a very nice and very sweet wine

    They use em in Vodak too, they call em snap grapes. Ciroc is made with Snapgrapes. Good stuff. I refuse to drink it anymore, however, because they use Diddy as a spokesman. I refuse to spend money on any product that tries to further the misconception that Diddy's opinion on anything is important.
