Wine from herb



I want to try recipe with herb. I think it may a new type of experimentation.
It seems like it wouldn't, but would fermentation destroy certain properties in herbs, such as lavender's calming property or coffee's caffeine?

I'm going to start a batch of lavender tomorrow, and a batch of lemon (because lavender and lemon taste fabulous together and I want to mix some), and I'm curious if anyone has tried lavender.

Also, I was reading a book on winemaking and it had recipes for grape leaf wine and oak leaf wine. Ever tried that? I'm curious
Thanks

Do you think wine made from herb taste good? I don't think so.

 

The only thing I can think of is that fermentation might drive off a lot of the flavor and aroma you would get from the herbs.  You could try it a couple of ways - putting it to ferment or putting it in after fermentation while it's ageing.  Heck, you could do it both ways.

I agree of what you've said dmofot. The aroma from herb is great. It's good to smell. But I doubt for the taste of the wine.
