Have You Ever Smoked Wine?

[Huskee]

I acquired a new rechargeable electric cocktail/whiskey smoker from Amazon, and I love the thing so far. It comes with 6 tins of different woods (apple, cherry, pear, oak, pecan, beech) and has lights to make it visually cool. Wayyyyy better and easier to use than the traditional use-a-torch-lighter ones I've used before, charges via USB-C.


Smoked an Old Fashioned last night, yum. Smoked a glass of IPA after that, yumm!



Today I popped a bottle of cabernet and decided I'd smoke it too. Yummm! Not something I would do every glass, but it was great and I've never heard of it before.

I've never smoked wine, too hard to light. I'll stick to cigars.

[Huskee]

I've stained lots of shirts trying....

[58limited]

Huskee I can't see your pictures, maybe because of the forum problems.

[Huskee]

58limited I think you're right. They were visible to me, but then I couldn't edit the main post to re-add them just now, must've caught a gremlin from yesterday and had some bungled code in it. I reposted the pics below \/ \/

I've had smoked cocktails but never wine. Not sure I would like that, not much of a wine drinker

[Huskee]

Yeah I suppose if you don't like it to start with you wouldn't like it smoked. I thought it added a just a subtle hint of smoke, not nearly the difference of say, a grilled burger vs a pan fried burger, but subtle enough to be fun, like w/ cocktails.

I've smoked what was left into the trash. Tried beef short ribs in red wine sauce, twice. Not for me, neither is the wine a la carte. That crap is nasty.

Have not tried wine, but will ask my wife if I can try that on a glass tomorrow night to see how it tastes. Were you putting something over the glass to hold the smoke for a specific length of time? Or just smoking and letting the smoke dissipate on its own?

And since the smoker gun will be out…of course a smoked old fashion too!

[Huskee]

I reposted pics below, hopefully you can see them now, but it's a large red wine glass and the smoke held in there on its own quite well after removing the smoker. I swirled it around a bunch while the smoke was in there. Eventually had to blow it out. It was quite fun.

Not to say that I know it all….. but I’m skeptical. I know some wines have smokey qualities…. But I would think adding more smoke would be overkill. YMMV

[Santamarina]

I’m thinking the same thing…gotta be the right wine.

[Huskee]

I used a fairly bold cabernet. Tasted great, but like I said I wouldn't do it every time, nor would I smoke a cocktail every time I make one. But for a here & there, yum.

I tried smoking wine but I couldn't keep it lighted.

[DaveD]

Dammit! I came here to make this joke. I blame the hosed server for delaying my post. GMTA...

Pics still not posted 9:22am 9/6/25

[Huskee]

Can't edit it, must've caught a gremlin from yesterday when I made the original topic. Pics below...

[Duanessmokedmeats]

I have had wine while I smoked...

[Michael_in_TX]

I know Steven Raichlen is in to smoking cocktails, but I don't think I've ever seen him do wine. Still, I think it could work...especially with a robust red. The glass shapes traditionally used for such reds also might help in keeping the smoke in the glass, at least, better than most.

[Huskee]

It definitely does. I could swirl the wine in the smoke and eventually had to blow it out!

[Huskee]

Weird, they are there for me and won't allow me to edit them.

I'll post them here..

[Michael_in_TX]

Okay, that is a very snazzy device.

(This picture thing seems to be happening more and more. They show up for the original poster, but for whatever reason, are broken images for the rest of us. Weird bug.)

[captainlee]

I don know, it just looks wrong.

That is a cool smoke generator, more simple than others I have seen. I'm not really into smoked beverages but I might get one of those and experiment a little.

*Its in my cart, I'll get it the next time I do an Amazon order.

[Huskee]

Be sure to tell Amazon I sent you. They'll not reply at all, but if they do they'd say "who???"

[surfdog]

“Traditional” smoking device with a torch? Check

PolyScience/Breville Commercial Smoking Gun? Check (complete with the bubble cocktail kit)

Nifty device that lights up when it’s being used? Dammit. Added to the cart. SMH (Such a sucker for goofy gadgets. LOL)

[Huskee]

You'll enjoy it, I promise

[Carolyn]

I can't drink wine, but that does look like a fun little gadget, especially if you like the results.
