Cherry Wine

[mrchaos101]

Any ideas on how to go about doing a cherry wine? Where to get some jucie? I can mix it with white grape.

About my only source would be Cherry Pie Filling in cans...with no corn surgars etc.

Any have a Recipe for a Cherry flavored wine of some kind?

They do make cherry juice for drinking. Both in the freezer and fresh on the shelf. Usually mixed with other juices, but that cherry flavor comes threw loud and clear. ( I don't like cherry juice or flavor, so it may just tast strong to me)
You can find a cherry jelly and follow the recipie for jelly wine. If there is just cherry and suger in your pie filling you should be fine using that. Either as part of or the whole fruit.
If you are haveing trouble finding cherry in your local store, look in a health food type place. Or Walmart. They have a good selection.

I've used Knudsen's bottled cherry juice available in the usual supermarkets when I made a cherry mead, but it is pretty pricey...comes in 1 quart bottles - 100% juice, no preservatives to hinder ferment. I've used their cranberry and blueberry juices as well....great stuff, 100% juice, dunno if the cherry juice is organic but they have many organic juices available - in my melomels, I typically add juice in primary and actual fruit in secondary, works well enough for me

As for fruit and/or juice sources, I use Knudsen's just juice too; good quality, but a bit pricey.

Don't know where you are, but most natural/organic oriented stores will carry frozen cherries as well as other fruits. Oregon Fruit has aseptic/canned fruit & fruit puree designed specifically for brewing:

Also, check your local growers & farmers markets for cherries & be advised that there's a big difference between sweet & tart cherries.
That should get you started, good luck!
