If you want to get drunk and that's your only value you place on a drink why even choose wine to compare? You can buy bottom shelf vodka and get more ethanol for your buck than Two Buck Chuck. Hell, vodka is wastefully distilled multiple times, why not just chase bootleg moonshine producers for even less? It all gets you drunk the same so they must be equivalent products.
- Zababa 5y agoPedantic point since we're on HN and I spent some time learning about this. Moonshine is also distilled, so the best bang-for-your-buck in terms of ethanol quantity for price would be water, sugar and bread yeast, maybe adding tomato paste and lemon juice, commonly known as "Birdwatchers sugar wash recipe". If labor is considered free, a still shouldn't add much to the cost as long as you use it a lot.
- evilduck 5y agoVodka is often triple distilled and almost always diluted to 100 proof or less. Moonshine has no such standards. But yeah, homemade sugar solution and wine yeast would be your most efficient per dollar.
