Jinro Korean Red Wine – House Wine
Price: ₩2500 – ₩3000
Origin: South Korea
Review: Well firstly it’s nice that Korea finally is producing some reasonably priced wine plus it’s domestic which is also nice. However the wine itself is merely grape juice with a kick (Grape Juice + Soju?), it’s not really wine. Honestly the phrase “Mutton dressed as lamb” comes to mind when you first drink a glass. But maybe that is unfair as the price is low and if you like grape juice then this would be great for you.
Overall a fair score would be 2 out of 5.

Ha ha! This so-called wine is terrible. Keep up the good writing!
Pretty confident this stuff is just grape juice mixed with soju.
That seems possible.
I happen to love this wine but then again what do I know about wine? I generally dislike red wine. Jinro just appeals to my sweet tooth. So wine or not, me likey:)
I use this to stretch the Bokbunja-ju (which is my port substitute) when I am making negus. It doesn’t affect the taste, which is lucky because, by itself, Jinro “wine” is awful.
