Hobo Wine Review: Johny Bootlegger

Welcome to the first review of Hobo Wine Reviews, by me.

Today's little bit of Jeebus is Johny Bootlegger's "Sing Sing Sour Grape". Crec picked this up at a local 7-11 for us to try out.

Packaging: The bottle is a small glass flask, only holding 6.8oz of nectar. The label is clearly trying to capitalize on their gimmick, which the prohibition era "Johny Bootlegger" (Yes, one "n". Ridiculous.)

Tasting Notes: The first thing you notice is the beverage's bright purple color. Opening the bottle, you get a whiff of a foul smelling concoction. Crec was instantly put off, but I have smelt horrible dranks, that turned out to taste great. This was one of those drinks. It basically tastes like a liquid grape jolly rancher, with booze in it. The mouthfeel is non-offensive.

Rating: I'm giving this one three stabbed hobo's out of five. It lost points for the small bottle, and the one "n" spelling of johnny.
