Never tried Dandelion. You need to make sure you boil it at least for a moment before fermenting because there will be natural bacterial on it that will need to be killed. 99% of the time, the bad tastes that get into your wine are from outside bacteria. Try honey wine.

Zach, Does a great job with this. You can also try and make hard cider, its a lot like making wine, but the process is completed a little faster!

It sounds like these ingredients would make for some tasty wine... except maybe skip the skittles. Who wants to drink Yellow 6 Lake, Red 40 Lake, Yellow 5 Lake, Blue 2 Lake, Yellow 5, Red 40, Yellow 6, Blue 1 Lake and Blue 1 in their wine?
