My father in law did a batch of tomato wine with tomatoes he grows in his
garden and this was excellent - rather like an Italian Frascati. The wine
adopted a nice yellowish rose colour and there was a very slight hint of
tomato taste, as it was drunk quite young (this would disappear with
ageing).

Summary: an excellent and relatively easy wine to make. I would be
interested to hear of anyone that's tried making this with canned tomatoes -
these are so cheap at the local supermarket - and so juicy!

Happy drinking!
