Hi guys! I have bought these overly expensive cotton candy grapes which are only in season for a week or two. I'm interested in trying to mock the flavor, by putting it into a wine. Now I have a cotton candy flavored lorann oil. I know the grapes themselves are green so I know to start with a white wine. So for trial and error, I want to use Welch's white grape juice, ferment it, and then at bottling throw a couple drops in per bottle. Does anyone think this could be successful?

No idea about that extract, but the wine made from those grapes are said to be like a very “flabby” Chardonnay. I made a batch using their moon drop grapes, have yet to actually taste any of it. Will be bottling soon though
Yeah I assume if it was made from the grapes themselves, alot of the cotton candy characteristics would be lost in fermentation. With the extract oil, I figure it might implement the cotton candy flavor into a white grape juice. It's all about trial and error.

Other than the extract, Maybe Freeze concentrate some juice from those grapes. then you can add them towards the end of fermentation, or as a F-pack to sweeten at then end after stabilizing.
