 In order to have vinegar you have to use different type of starter.
   Wine ends up wine, and vinegar ends up vinegar.

8 years ago we lived where there was an incredible patch of chokecherries, I 
picked 25 gallons one week. I tried my hand at wine making with it, then 
suddenly life got uprooted and they got forgotten till this week as we are 
organizing the basement. The wine was never even decanted from the origional 
gallon jugs with only balloons for caps. Incredibly most of the balloons 
were still sound, and low behold the wine ain't bad! Amazing thing, on one 
bottle that the balloon had opened up a bit - the wine was not 
vinegar.....do chokecherries have a natural preservative?
This wine was made without the seeds, I have been told to watch that .
When I first moved to Minnesota from N. Calif I had never tasted 
chokecherry, I made some jam and used it on vanilla ice cream for a year and 
never got tired of the intense taste. Sam, you have inspired me to try my 
hand at using the aronia berries, they sure are productive.
