Fruit Teabag Wine - are these any good?

[aamcle]

Hi All.

I've never made fruit teabag wine, I tried WOW but it was acid enough to make concrete fizz ( think Alien and the melting deck plates) but I've found some tea bags that might be ok.

Lemon and Ginger
Citrus and Orange Blossom
Pure LemonGrass.

Are any of them any good for wine n do you have a recipe?

Many Thanks. Aamcle

I recently tried a couple, one using Zingy Purple Berry and one using Cranberry And Raspberry. Hadn't done any before but thought I ought to find out what it was all about.
I was stunned by how good they were, with no aging.
Almost anything you fancy the flavour of will be good.

Thanks for reply but I was asking specifically if the bag I have could make good wine, anybody used those blends.

Any body know?

what make are your tea bags ?

I've only ever used Twinnings Fruit tea bags,

 

[aamcle]

Tea Pigs, they are some speciality supplier http://www.teapigs.co.uk so the quality should be good.

PS. Would I be better buying some strawberry or something?

 

[PD]

I think they would have too much tea in them....Twinnings are herbal based not tea.

Ok thanks.

Lemon and Ginger
Citrus and Orange Blossom
Pure LemonGrass.

Lemongrass might be a slightly weak flavour for a wine. The other two should be good.

I'll pull a a bag to bits and try to see if it's tea or fruit inside.

Personally I would stick with Twinings.

2 boxes for £2 in my local Asda at the moment.

I checked the ingredients list on their website. It's fruit.

I think I'll get some strawberry somehow ginger just doesn't seem right for wine.

I've got some Lemon and Ginger Twinnings wine.

Its very ginger and warming !!

Out of 6 persons to try it, one loves it to bits the other 5 complain its too gingery.... and I'm not the one to love it.

Hi, i have made a LOT of fruit tea bag in my time, and found it to be very nice, quick and cheap, i never bothered with the twinings brand, as i made wine to be cost effective, i always chose Asda's own brand, especially when it was 2 for £1!!

Stick with the normal berry flavours, and you can't got wrong mate!
