Wine soaked oak chips?

[whoaru99]

I have a few handfuls of oak chips saved from a batch of merlot I just racked off. They will be dried in a very low oven.

Presume some have done this before. Anyone here used them for smoking meat (or cheese, maybe), and your result?

I came expecting some kind of merlot sour stout recipe!

Can't help re smoking, but I'm intrigued.

edit: came from new posts : )

Hmmm, I've smoked cheese and I've made lots of wine with oak chips. I feel like I have missed an opportunity here! Next time I'm re-using those chips. Thanks.

I use Irish whiskey-soaked Applewood chips for smoking grain when I do a smoked beer. I don't normally soak my wood chips in anything other than water for bbq, but now I am intrigued.
