Red Wine and Coke

This keeps popping up in my Pinterest feed! Supposedly it's really good but the thought kinda makes my tummy churn.
Has anyone here tried mixing red wine & Coke- what was the outcome? Did you hurl at any point within the following 24 hours?
I'm not looking for an excuse to open this wine bottle before thanksgiving or anything. Coughcough.

Re: Red Wine and Coke

  • I've heard of it but never tried it. I want to say its popular in Spain, but I could be making that up.

  • Sounds like a way to ruin perfectly good wine and perfectly good Coke.

    I was thinking the same thing, but now after like the 4th time I've run across it I was like, Hummm, maybe this is one of those secretly amazing combos that I'm the last one to hear about (like bacon in tacos). Then again, maybe my friends just have bad taste.

    FFC: I've never seen that show!
    I've got cheap red wine & generic cherry coke in the garage fridge. I just wonder if I'm setting myself up for failure- You're not in college anymore April!!!!
    Maybe I'll save it for thanksgiving and test it on my sister first.
    They really enjoyed it on the show, but they're a bunch of miscreants. It's the kind of show that you either love it or hate it.

  • No. No. No. No. No. This sounds like something we would have thought was a good idea in high school. When Franzia seemed like a grown-up thing to get wasted on.

  • Oh, man, Mad Dog. I haven't had 20/20 since I graduated from college, but just the thought of it and I feel a Banana Red headache coming on.

    Haha, my first thought was Boones Farm! :)

    Lmao! Oh Boones Farm. The memories, lol.

    Wine and coke just doesn't sound appetizing. Bacon and tacos, however.... hmm....

  • I think it's supposed to be a coke with just a little red wine, like a little more than a splash.

    And btw, just thinking about md 20/20 makes me want to throw up and gives me a hangover

  • We did this once or twice in Africa. Our wine came in a box so it never hurt to add something to it. It wasn't anything amazing but it didn't make me hurl.

    This, yuck. Coke would completely mess up my wine.

  • I love this... They're called calimochos. Somehow they taste almost like a fizzy sangria? I used to drink them a lot. They were on the menu at my favorite tapas place and became my favorite at home drink too... Now I want one...
  • Ha ha ha... I thought this was another anti-formula rant!

    Yay yay yay yay! I knew someone here had to have tried it! Can I ask what type of wine you use? And what's the coke/wine ratio?
    This is happening this week!

  • @AprilRaine - I used to do almost half and half honestly (a little extra wine, because wine is the best). And used the cheapest red you can find. Like a jug of Carlos Rossi :) It's a drink teenagers in Spain drink, haha. But I think it's delicious! And a great use for cheapo red. And serve it over ice. The first sip is surprising but it just gets more and more delicious! Cheers!

  • Sangria eh? Damn...now I am mildly curious. Is the base a sweet or a dry red?

    Not gonna lie... I actually thought the same thing!! Lol
