A Brief Introduction to Natural Wines

Upcycling our failed batch of red wine as a fabric dye.

It. Was. Undrinkable. Wait I take it back. It was “drinkable” provided you don’t take issue with splitting headaches and a day-long hangover. 

Perhaps our successes in beer brewing fueled our overconfidence, but we were certain that wine fermentation would be super easy. We bought a Sangiovese wine kit, which was not cheap, but considering that the anticipated result was 5 gallons of wine, the cost would work out in the long run. Long story short, it was not a good wine. I tried turning into red wine vinegar and cooking with it, but I’m just not moving this wine along fast enough. Then I thought - fabric dye?

As it turns out…wine can’t really be considered a dye, it’s really more of a stain. The pigment does not fix well and is not very stable. Instead of a large piece of fabric, I decided to try dying some sari silk ribbon that can be used as art yarn or as a unique gift wrapping material. I used a bit of alum as a mordant, which helped to retain a brighter and crisper color and gently boiled the silk with the wine for god knows how long. 

After a thorough drying, At the end of the day, I call this a success! My gross red wine produced rustic soft pink silk ribbons that are truly unique.
