Onion Wine

This label is another I have used on other wine labels. I took it as a challenge to make some onion wine, using sweet onions and making the wine finish sweet. It doesn't sound appealing at all but tastes much better than it sounds, the trick being to not tell your guests what they are drinking until after they have tried it. I got many compliments about my onion wine. At the 2006 Indiana State Fair International Amateur Wine Competition it won a gold medal concordance, which means it was best in its class (non fruit) and was judged good enough to be entered in the best of show or best overall of all 28 categories of entered wines. And to think that I nearly threw it all out because while stirring the wine I knocked a hole in the side of the glass carboy container, spilling most of it on the floor, managing to save about 10 bottles of the wine.
