Coffee wine?

[Clank007]

Hi,
I was trawling through the web earlier (as you do) and found a short discussion relating to coffee wine. I found myself looking at the date to see if it wasnt April Fools Day, as the concept of coffee flavoured wine would never have occured to me!

Has anyone tried Coffee wine - and does it taste just like coffee? (daft question that one maybe but I have to ask)

If the answer to the above is yes, then does anyone have a recipe for making it at all please? I'm quite intrigued by the thought of it to be honest

Here is a couple of earlier threads about it that may help

I made a port last fall that had chocolate and expresso in it. I think the port turned out great. the lady i made it for is more than happy

I have tried coffee wine a couple of times, it wasnt very nice, if you make it, you will find it better off dry to medium sweet i reckon (i used CJJ Berrys recipe)

It wasn't CJJ Berrys recipe....it was Jeff Wingo's (WinePress member, and one time drinking buddy)
