I don't know. I have made some tasty wine out of fresh grape juice in the past. I think the ones you are listing are "fortified" wines meaning they add grain alcohol to it to boost the kick. I used to judge my success by the ability to drink a quart of it straight without it giving me the royal shits.

A church neighbor and former coworker offered his grape arbor free of charge if I wanted to pick em.
I wound up with about 25 lbs or so. They worked up to a little over 8 qts of juice . . . using the formula to make juice for converting into grape jelly.
Turned out to be a really good drink . . . not sure what will be the outcome of it yet.
Just wish I had gotten more of it . . . maybe next year. Need to get more grapes plants for my arbor.
May God bless,
Dwight

No no. Home made wine is much healthier..similar to home rolled cigarettes. No harmful added preservatives and cancer causing bad things in it. Its what Paul told Timothy to do for his tummy if some might recall. Give wine to those who are heavy at heart..and strong drink to those who are perishing. Pretty sure hawgrider qualifies in both categories..maybe all three. Just guessing.
