Wine as a coloring agent

[tbroye]

Just getting ready to open a bottle of Andretti Merlot. While looking at the nice color I began wondering if you could use the wine to color PR or Clear Alumilite? Been a long hard week caring Grandkinds and their dogs and our dogs and was just getting ready to sit down and relax. Would probably use cheap Gallo instead of Andretti Merlot ($18).

Too much moisture content, I would think. Might make pretty foam, though.

I am sure you are not serious but if you are, don't even consider it with Alumilite! Wine has a high % of water and would not work at all!

Ack don't waste it, drink it!

you must be really tired... Wine is for drinking! and relaxing after your arduous time with the grandkids!

Yea I am a little tired after 3 weeks of the grandkids and the extra dogs. I did enjoy a couple of glasses of good wine though. Never thought about moisture content of wine and the reaction with Alumilite. I will just get some dye made for it.

I love Merlot, and I don't care if it is cheap Gallo or Andretti. Room temperature and in a nice large tumbler, please.
