pruno – fermented in zip-loc bags from mashed fruit, water, bread (for the yeast) sugar and ketchup to make it taste nice – is popular in US jails despite apparently tasting of vomit, with which it has a surprising amount in common.
Fortified Wines are wines in which the fermentation process is stopped at some point by the addition of grape spirit – which, at around 90% alcohol, would stop pretty much anything in its tracks – usually in order to preserve some of the sweetness of the fruit.
