[Growwine] Fw: Hops in ... wine?

[Gary King]

Was wondering if cough medicine would smooth the finish  of some reds? perhaps some antihistimine effect as a bonus? 

Happy New year to you growers and makers ; movers and shakers 


from a lurker who follows the discussions with keen interest.

The LCBO has a lot of new wines in tetrapaks now. There is one called French Rabbit. It might have a few hops in it.

To anyone's knowledge, have hops (Humulus lupulus) ever been used in grape wine in a similar way as in beer?  Would they offer any preservative/antioxidant benefit to wine?  Given the bitter taste, they might work better in select reds than whites, but who knows.
