How does Hatch Green Chili Wine from New Mexico end up in Louisiana?

 

[SmokinEdge]

I’ve not had it. But now I’m curious. Nothing wrong with spicy wine!

A local winery here makes a Cajun red wine with cayenne in it. Tasty stuff

Thought of you when I saw it....

Since there is no sugar in hatch chile, the alcohol must come from plain sugar or some fruit. I wonder what they use to add some flavor?

It's just regular white wine made from grapes. Infused with the hatch chile

there are many white grapes, i doubt many will go with a green chile flavor. I downloaded the spec sheet and they don't say. They also have a red wine variety. They just say semi-sweet.

Thank you. I’ve not seen any around here, but I have had a couple different beers infused with Hatch Chile. Not bad.

Hatch chilies have more with 4.4 grams per 100 grams of pepper.

Both Fructose and Glucose...and that is fresh hatch chilies. Most peppers contain about 90% water, so if you dried them and ground into a powder, the concentration of sugars would be much higher...40-45%...

The only reason I know this is because of the research I did on the amount of sugars in Calabrian pepper powder and bell pepper powder for fermentation when making Calabrian Sopressata Salami.

BTW, I bought a bottle. It was $4 dollars so I'm not expecting much. I'll post my opinion of it when I open it.

I have seen it around here. Given my love for hatch peppers surprised I did not buy a bottle.

Outstanding. I don’t drink wine but I hear of people pairing different wines with different foods. What would a chili wine go with? Smoked cream cheese ?

I would think this wine to be more of a novelty. I did not really have any food in mind when I bought it.
