To prune or not to prune?

[Random Badger]

Thinking about making some fruit juice wine I randomly bought a carton of prune juice. It's described as being 100% juice and I had a vague recollection of it being described by some people as tasting a bit like red wine, so was thinking it would work, probably with some cartons of apple juice. However, I have since come across the following cautionary tale that makes me wonder whether to just abandon the idea of using prune juice entirely!

What do the wise heads of HBF think?

I made prune juice wine once - went straight down the drain. Absolutely foul. Possibly even worse than the turnip wine I once made.
Makes you realise that once you remove the sugars from some things we eat, what's left is not very nice at all...

Think I'm leaning towards just making some apple wine and abandoning the prune juice...

The many splendored options for confusion offered at every turn by the foibles of our language.

Ah....a couple of months ago I did in fact...prune my plum tree!

Sounds like a euphemism...
