I am not a big fan of the chocolate infused wines as you can see from my review of the industry leader Chocovine HERE. So it was with passing interest that I saw a recent report that sales of chocolate flavored wines are down 13% overall, and Chocovine in particular was down a whopping 35%. Looks like a clear case of the novelty wearing off. I’ll shed no tears for the passing of the fad. You can see all the data here.
I do chocolate it has to be a hot chocolate made with real dark Chocolate Wine , pinch of cinnamon and hot milk. Brownies are very rare for me(though I make frequently for the husband and others) and there used to be a chocolate mousse that I made using raw eggs at one point of time, but that was the time I just started cooking in my own kitchen and I thought it would be impossible to make a chocolate mousse without eggs.
We tried several different chocolate formulas using a red wine base and didn’t find an appealing flavor profile. It wasn’t until we combined the chocolate with a white wine base that the delicious aromas and flavors jumped out of the glass in shape of Chocolate Wine.
