After four years of production, the president of Domaine de la Vallée Bras, Pascal Miche, says he sells thousands of bottles in 22 different counties, and now cannot keep up with demand. Miche's tomato wine was first created 1938 by his great-grandfather in Belgium. After moving to Quebec 15 years ago, Miche says he adapted his recipe using a blend of heirloom tomatoes from the Baie-St-Paul region. After 10 years of research, Miche created a clear, organic wine with 16 per cent alcohol, and what he describes as a surprising taste. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-tomato-wine-goes-global-1.2682112?cmp=rss Who would have thought this was possible. I would like to taste some but from the sound of it the demand is so high he can't keep up. It isn't just ketchup anymore.

Quote: After 10 years of research, Miche created a clear, organic wine with 16 per cent alcohol, I didn't think that fermenting yeasts could survive in an alcohol content that high.
