Hey has anyone considered making a wine from peppers like jalapeno and sweet pepper?

You'd probably need to add extra sugar, but I bet it could be an interesting flavor.

Hello! Yes, we've tried it! It was a Jack Keller recipe that called for 14 jalapenos and some raisins with a bunch of sugar. Fermented fully, but it was too sweet still, I actually found the pepper taste to be nice, but sadly the sugar made it undrinkable. Would make it again with an amended recipe.

Oh heck, do you know where I can find that recipe? Sweet booze is our jam so that might be exactly what I need!
