Are there any similar-tasting beverages? <br /><br /> While I was in Austria, I had a chance to try some Sturm, which is very freshly fermented grape juice. It was delicious and very refreshing, and was a little cider-like . . .<br> <br> The internet seems to suggest that it can not be stored for a long time due to ongoing fermentation; I have thus been unable to find any in a local wine shop. I live in Berkeley, fairly close to Californian wine country, so I would hope that I could fine some locally made. Otherwise, is there a similar beverage that is more readily available? Vinho Verde or some semi-sparkling wine seem like reasonable candidates, but I don't really know much about them. post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.93374 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 00:46:48 -0800 bsdfish wine federweisser sturm http://ask.metafilter.com/93374/Where-to-find-FederweisserSturm-or-something-similar#1366372 Vinho Verdes are super cheap bottles of wine -- always under $10, usually under $5 -- so experimenting with 'em on a hot summer day, never a bad choice. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.93374-1366372 Fri, 06 Jun 2008 05:29:32 -0800 ph00dz
