Hey has anyone considered making a wine from peppers like jalapeno and sweet pepper?

You'd probably need to add extra sugar, but I bet it could be an interesting flavor.

Before you put in the work of making this yourself, try some hot pepper beers first. Jalapeno especially imparts a waxy aftertaste, and the heat his differently in the back of the throat because your drinking rather than eating. Too close to a heartburn sensation for me
