Now, most people know that if you eat beets, or drink beet wine, you
have a change of passing red urine. What most peopel don't know is that ingesting oxalic acid alongwith the beets greatly increses this chance, as the oxalic interferes with the metabolism of the pigments. So, if I starty a rhubarb-beet wine now, it should be ready to serve on April Fool's Day..... ---The Mad Alchemist--- http://www.mad-alchemy.com Email sent to the above address, unless clearly marked as wine or heraldry, will be deleted unread. |

Where did you get this information? > So, if I starty a rhubarb-beet wine now, it should be ready to serve > on April Fool's Day..... April Fool's Day in 2007 perhaps. Beet wine does not lose its earthy undertones for at least two years, but the wait is well worth it. Jack Keller, The Winemaking Home Page http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/ |

I don't know where he got this information but googling it did come up with a number of references that state it is possible, though some of them state that it occurs in the "rare individual." None of the sources say anything about how much beets someone is required to eat for this condition to happen, nor how long it takes. Darren you may have to go beyound and above just serving some wine, you may have to serve a whole meal (beet soup, beat side dish, rhubarb pie for desert, your beet/rhubarb wine; you may even have to add some red food colouring to your meal).
