What's the BJCP Style for Beer/Wine hybrids?

[TooDeadBrew]

Just made a beer with 49% wine must, would this be simply a fruit beer for a BJCP competition? The guidelines don't specifically mention grapes, so just making sure.

To further complicate I split the batch and added dried hibiscus to a portion of the secondary. Would this be experimental? Thanks for any feedback on either.

I vote for fruit beer. Grapes are fruit. Leaning towards that. But could just say specialty beer. I have done a beer like this, cofermented wort and grape must. Good beer, but I didn’t enter it into any comps.

The grape beer is a straight-forward 29A Fruit Beer. The one with hibiscus is 29B Fruit and Spice Beer.

Simple as that.

I'd say fruit beer too. Can't really see any other category working.

Everyone posting above is clearly wrong, this either belongs in the "weer" category, you could also enter it as "bine".
