My Feedback:

I was in the Dakotas and saw this "Apple Raspberry Wine" that according to the label is only fermented apples and raspberries and sulfites—not even any grapes—and thought ‘hey, that’s cider!” and I grabbed a bottle to try. Despite the sulfidic smell that was slightly soapy, I drank it, and immediately regretted it. It is medicinal, syrupy and heavy. It is very dry and still as can be. It has a bit more of an alcohol burn at the end but leaves a bad taste in the mouth. I left it alone for 15 minutes to let it mellow and it was a little less heavy and more enjoyable, but not by much. I didn’t like it and my wife, the wine drinker in the family, thought it was bad too. Out of fairness, I didn’t award an F because it never promised to be a cider, this was only my delusion. But I wouldn’t recommend this to a wine drinker either. PIO
