chocolate wine???

[NandaB]

I have heard talk of this and I figured you guys would know the low down...

What is it??? I mean, I know chocolate and I know wine, but how do you combine the two? Is it "real" wine with hints of chocolatiness? Or is it, like alcoholic chocolate milk?both of these options sound pretty darn tasty, but the second one sounds more dangerous- as in, oh shit did I just drink the whole bottle?

Where did you hear about this and why wasn't I clued in?

I bought some a couple months ago and hated it. I was thinking it was going to be sweet but it definitely was not. The namebrand I got was ChocoVine.

We have a bottle that has been sitting in our wine rack for two years. We have yet to try it and at this point, I am not sure the bottle is still good..

I've had some. To me, it tastes like chocolate milk with an alcohol aftertaste. It's "meh."

So was it actual wine with "hints" of chocolate? Cuz, yea, that sounds kinda yuck. Maybe what I'm looking for is creamy (like chocolate milk with a kick)? I want it to be that.. and be yummy

I love to eat chocolate while I am drinking wine.

it's very 'meh'.
Think irish cream, + chocolate, less sweetness, more wine aftertaste.

I like kahlua with a little chocolate milk. I only use a little chocolate in the chocolate milk.

Hmmm. Maybe I just need to buy some kahlua. It doesn't sound like chocolate wine is for me.

I don't like sweet wine so this could work for me.

Okay, I've been meaning to respond since I read this post at like 4am, but I had to get to the bottle to remember the name. My sister gave me a bottle of chocolate wine that she'd gotten from her boss. It's called Red Decadence. It's really good! I've had that chocovine before (the milky stuff). Red Decadence is actually a red wine that has notes of chocolate in it. It was way better than I thought it would be. A good "dessert" wine.
