Pruno - Make Your Own Prison Wine

As you know, we're always on the lookout for the cheapest tasty wines available - it's kind of our thing. But sometimes you have to stretch your boundaries...exit your comfort zone...leave tasty out of the equation. For those of you who don't know, Pruno is a variety of homemade wine that is usually created in prison, often hidden in the toilet tank as contraband. When you hear the words "prison wine" and "toilet tank" you probably think it's going to taste pretty good.

You'd be wrong - the creator of the recipe we found described it as tasting like a "bile flavored wine cooler." Even so, Pruno creation is a skill that might treat you well some day when you're on lockdown for downloading pirated Justin Timberlake songs or whatever it is you do.

By most accounts, pruno isn't something a normal human would want to drink, so potent that two gallons is said to be "a virtual liquor store," enough to get a dozen people mindblowingly wasted. And while it tastes so putrid that even hardened prisoners gulp it down while holding their noses, they'll go to incredible lengths to make it, whipping up batches from frosting, yams, raisins and damn near everything.

Note: Pruno is nasty crap. Cheap Fun Wines takes no responsibility if you drink it and go blind, have a psychotic episode, or otherwise have ill effects.
