Here is Caldera’s seasonal release. It is Vas Deferens Ale. The text explains that it has “a little snip of this and a little snip of that.” “This is an extremely rare release, as this ale is not meant to reproduce.” For those who have been away from health class or Latin class for quite some time, Wikipedia tells us more about the vas deferens here. This ale is made by Caldera Brewing Company of Ashland, Oregon.

This post will start short but is likely to grow long over time. Very long. We will try to show the enormous range of foodstuffs from which wine is produced. With each post we will add to the list, and I predict it will grow way past 50. Today we add Lychee wine to the list.

1. Avocado wine
2. Banana wine
3. Dandelion wine
4. Grape wine
5. Kiwi wine
6. Lychee Wine. This lychee wine is sparkling, and bottled by Schnebly Redland’s Winery of Redland, Florida.
7. Mangosteen wine
8. Marionberry wine
9. Onion wine
10. Pomegranate wine
11. Pear wine
12. Pepper wine
13. Pineapple wine
14. Rhubarb wine
15. Tomato wine
16. Watermelon wine

Here are a few charity-themed alcohol beverage labels. They are becoming more common, to the point where TTB does have a specific policy. In general, of course the charity language has to be truthful and non-misleading — but also, it needs to have a bit of specific information (such as the name of the charity). Vets Vodka is bottled by Terressentia of North Charleston, South Carolina and benefits the National League of Families (POW-MIAs). Hope Wine is bottled by Sonoma Wine Company of Graton, California and benefits “our troops.” Third, Charity Case wine is made by One True Vine, LLC of St. Helena, California and benefits “charities serving children and families in and around Napa County.”

Here is beer with added sea salt. The label declares that it’s made with Swiss mountain spring water, barley malt, hops, yeast — and sea salt. Cargill recently drew a fair amount of flak for suggesting that people should sprinkle a bit of salt on their ice cream, coffee, fruit, but they neglected to mention beer. Douze is made in Switzerland and imported by B. United of Redding, Connecticut.
