Distilling red wine

Finally, a scientific explanation for the miracle of turning water into wine...

Gordo

We need to find a way to get Clive some cans of 4loko...for science.

that guy

Ralfy would love trying this wine lol

Derek Bissett

i used to buy just the syrup water down only a little and drink it like a strong cordial was verry nice

Trevor Fox

You've worn out yer haha... It's still funny.

Scott Miller

I'd guess the result would be slightly weaker vodka due to escaped ethanol.

Big Clive

You create a wormhole and potatoes fall out.

Nani Isobel

It wasn't. I did try getting a beret while working in France, but the one I wanted wasn't available.

Big Clive

Sounds like a winner!

Mike Page

I could be remembering it wrong but (back in my homebrew days) there was a way to convert sugar into maltose which involved gentle heating with tartaric acid. Perhaps that's why your residue smells malty - if you'll pardon the expression.

Mike Page

What happens if you distill vodka?

Dr Andy Hill

awww, i missed you saying "one moment please" while you distilled it!

"Soy face"? Now that's a slur I didn't particularly need to know…

Ulrich

Judging by view counts, the thumbnail strategy seems to be working

Christian Elzey

Clive, please try distilling Irn Bru. Then rehydrate the "syrup" with the usual boutique vodka and get Ralfy to review the resulting high class Clydesider Liqueur. You might have the honour of being sued by AG Barr.

I do wonder if any YouTubers have been bumped off for exposing fraud. A couple of my videos were campaign flagged to try and get them removed, and on one instance falsely flagged as child-unsafe resulting in total demonetisation.

Big Clive

That hat makes Clive look more like Compo or Cleggy from "Last of the summer wine"

Andrew Donaldson

Yeah I thought it was bit a large for a taste-test mass...LOL. Yeeewww LOL

Michael Thompson

You look French in that cap! Was that your intention Big Clive?

Gadgetman

Clive, have you a link to where you got the dodgy bunnet?

Mark Chapman

That's my point. The first time it was funny, the second time it was slightly funny. After that, not funny any longer.

Andy Timmons

Clive when you blow too many lids open on too many scams the assassins hired by the numerous and various industries will have to fight each other to see which one gets to do it! (No disintegrations!) That's like practically a feature film right there, man. I will watch booze being de-mystified all day. Very interesting!

Michael Thompson

Schmoo? Uncle Bumblefuck will no doubt approve!

Steven Raith

If it generates more views and cash for Clive, I'm all for it. The man deserves more then he's willing to take.

Bas

I once had a ball of white wine sorbet in a glass of champagne... Not bad.

Bas

Enough of the click bait thumbnails. I try never to click on 'OMG, 'WOW! ', 'you'll never believe what happened next' and 'only one person in a thousand can understand this' videos, but I like your stuff. A joke's a joke, but it's time to move on.

Andy Timmons

That facial expression when you tasted the extract is worth gold. A little like the expression on a a child face when it gets to eat it's first Brussel-sprouts :-)

Zeedijk Mike

And also a test done where red food colouring was added to white wine.

Big Clive

I make merlot ice cream by boiling down the merlot into a syrup on the stovetop. Offhand, I don't remember if I halve it or more, but I do the calculation to ensure the resulting mixture has enough fat by volume to qualify as ice cream. I use merlot because its usually the mildest red; anything with lots of tannins ends up being too harsh when cooked down. The resulting ice cream is... good? Good-ish. Mostly its a novelty. The wine flavor is strong, and the novelty comes from it being combined with the fat in the cream.

Jeremy Impson

40% red wine. That's one way to destroy your friends at a party.

evilution

Too bad you don't have better temperature control on that thing to avoid bringing over so much water. Because then you could further annoy Ralfy by claiming you've made your own cognac.

Jeremy Impson

Now there's a drink for the live stream, after carbonation ;-)

Private Private

There apparently have been blind tests done and people can't tell the difference between read and white wine; if it's chilled people think it's red, room temperature will lead to people thinking it's red.
