Do people carbonate in wine corked bottles? - in that case I wonder how long the carbonation would last and if aging a carbonated wine (lying on it's side) is practical? I was thinking about carbonation - I read one person said they made low ABV and carbonated. Does this type of cooler taste good with seven-up or some type of soda when you serve it? I could go for a lower ABV cooler (6-7) or a high ABV wine (11-12). Maybe add another fruit or fuit concentrate to up the acid or is "low acid" of apple juice a good taste for wine?

Studies have also compared the heart healthy benefits of whole fruit versus juice with and without pulp. Though organic juice has many potential benefits, there are certain downsides.įor one, studies show that while whole fruit consumption is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, a greater consumption of fruit juice may be associated with a higher risk ( 17).
