Wine To Go!
Thankfully Germany is more evolved in some ways than America. Not least of which is with their more relaxed attitudes towards alcohol.
Katadyn makes dehydrated red wine powder for backpacking. Sounds too good to be true… take a a little glacier melt water, warm up to room temperature, stir and mix with the powder… and presto! You have a glass of red wine with 8.2% alcohol content.
No more lugging those heavy bottles in, Jeanne.
I’m bet it’s no Leonetti, but I sure want to give it a try to see how bad it tastes.
Thanks to the FDA… only available for shipment in the EU.

Come on…I don’t lug bottles. An empty platypus (1 liter) works great, with the screw cap securely tightened. Can be re-filled with H2O for the hike out if trail water is scarce. One looses a little of the, shall we say nose of the wine after decanting at home, but I’m not nearly that picky. Nor would I really be able to tell.
Thanks for all the great info! It keeps Bob interested (he gets bored easily) and I get to go hiking more often. ( :
