Think she might need a strong coffee and a headache tablet.

That got me thinking glass Just googled...and found a recipe to make coffee wine. Tastes a bit like Tia Maria apparently. So would drinking wine made from coffee prevent hangovers I wonder?

Its as good an excuse as any I suppose, give it a try, well will do your testing for you grin

Living in Burgundy it is compulsory to drink wine or include it in cooking (or both at the same time like this week!) The children have a glass too our 7 yr old grandson prefers a glass of red whilst grandaughter of 10 likes a sweet white.

My idea of heaven wine cheers

Love the lifestyle Burgundygran smile

I might have a go at making coffee wine glassortwo but it will be 9/12 months before a taster is ready to be emailed!

Set me thinking though......if wine made of coffee can prevent hangovers, what other combos may have beneficial outcomes?

Would wine made with oranges (all that Vit. C) stop you from getting colds?
Or Devils Claw wine to ease arthritic knees?

Any other ideas? grin

So does that mean if i have potato wine i only need to eat the meat with it?

You'd probably need a slug of parsnip wine too helshea, to make sure you're getting some veg towards your 5 a day.

helshea Sun 22-May-11 10:35:57

Well who wouldve thought I could have a balanced meal out of a glass.. lol

Notsogrand Sun 22-May-11 10:59:39

With blackberry and apple wine for pudding...hooray!
