Pot Infused Wine? Is this really all the rage in Cali?

Pot-infused wine is all the rage in dope-friendly California


How could you make a substance like wine, with chemical properties that make you pleasantly woozy and a bit euphoric, any better? Infuse it with another substance whose chemicals make you pleasantly woozy and a bit euphoric, of course! Enter marijuana-laced wine. A bit like the pot brownie's more refined big sister, the aromatic red spirit is on the rise in California where increasingly lax pot laws have brought the decades-old fad back into fashion. The recipe calls for dropping a pound of pot into a fermenting cask of wine, which yields about 1.5 grams of weed per bottle. Plenty enough, we think, to get a group of sophisticated vintners chanting "duuuude" and eating Funyuns.

Is this really true and if so has anyone here tried it? I can't imagine this being very good but perhaps with the right strains of grapes and herbs it's not as bad as it might seem?

No it's not the rage. Interesting though

Yeah I find that claim of being all the rage hard to believe. First because I can't see this being a good combo. Then there is the fact that from what I understand the wine makers in California are very proud of their wine and so I don't see any serious wine maker wanting to taint their wine with marijuana. Likewise I can't see the quality growers out there wanting their stuff to end up in a wine bottle. Nor can I see the consumers be willing to spend what it must cost to cover the addition of a pound of marijuana to a cask of wine. Especially if the end result is only 1.5 grams of marijuana per bottle. I've put more grams then that into a single brownie.

The "all the rage" is way over-stated. It's more like one of the odd items someone will occasionally bring to a gathering as an after-thought, and I don't know anyone who pitches a pound into a cask of wine, it's more like, throw an eighth into a bottle see what happens (usually leading to mediocre results and feelings that the eighth would have been better on it own).
