The wine-makers needlessly toil with wine-maturation while the prisoners sneak into the prison cafeterias and commit for an adventure of a life-time, when they make wine in the prison. The wine in prison is made in the weirdest way, but it hardly matters as long as you get a “Ten High” wine. Logan Hicks presents a pictorial representation of how to make wine in the prison. The posh prisons in the US provide the cons with such rare luxuries, but I doubt the same for other prisons.
However, the ingredients and the method is very simple, where you have to chuck any mashed fruit with lots of sugar, preferably bananas, lemons and oranges, into a plastic bag (even a toilet bag would do). This is followed by the catalyst, which constitutes of few pieces of molded bread pushed into a sock and then placed inside the plastic bag. You just have to tie the mouth of the bag and hide it. The only place where you need to be careful is letting the gas out of the bag, being careful that the wine does not burst out of the wine-skin and you are not in any danger. The fermentation will take seven days and by the end you will have a wine without any distillation or filtration…not forgetting that you are in a prison it will serve you enough with an alcohol content of 10-19 percent.
Cons can rest assured that if the UK prisoners have a future as a chef the US prisoners have a secured future as licensed wine-makers, making simple cheap wines.
