The Italians are pissed at a German company for making dehydrated .
If it comes in a straw wrapped bottle it's Chanti Classico , if you dump a packet into your canteen it's  .

The article also said they're working on dehydrated  , I'm withholding judgement on that.

Or add half the water and have " Sherry " or maybe " V**P Brandy " ?? Aged 15 minutes in an aluminium canteen.

I think this is really a cool idea for backpacking if it's any good.
I always miss a cold beer or whatever when I've been back in the backcountry for a few days.

if you also used dehydrated water, you could pack even lighter!

Sweet I have to get some of that there deeeehydrated water!!!
Wonder if I still need my filter.

Back to the wine I looked at some reviews and something was mentioned about
alcoholic beet juice rotting for 300 years on the bottom of the ocean.
I take it that it doesn't taste very well?

Review writen by an Italian wine maker no doubt.



I'm hoping one of our European members can shed some light.

umm, if it's dehydrated that would get rid of the alcohol.

what's the point?

The article said the finished "product" is about 8%, so apparently they remove the water and leave the good stuff.
