There was a question on this website that I frequent. The website is Quora and the question was: Why isn't onion wine more popular?
OK, so now you have my attention. First off, what is "onion wine"? Long and short of it all, it's a cooking wine.

Justin Lloyd was nice enough to share his recipe.
This is the recipe I used. I also used the sweetest onions I could find.
1/2 lb onions
1/2 lb potatoes
1/2 pint white grape concentrate
7 pints water
2 1/2 lbs sugar
2 tsp acid blend
2 tsp yeast nutrient
1 package wine yeast
1/2 lb potatoes
1/2 pint white grape concentrate
7 pints water
2 1/2 lbs sugar
2 tsp acid blend
2 tsp yeast nutrient
1 package wine yeast
Peel and chop up onions and potatoes
Put in nylon straining bag and boil until tender
Strain and press off pulp into bag (discard pulp)
Pour into fermentor and include all other ingredients except yeast
Add a camden tablet and let sit 24 hours
Add yeast
When gravity reaches 1.040, rack into secondary
When gravity reaches 1.000 rack off sediment
