> there are now TWO (2!!!!!) commercial sources for verjuice that I know of.

Okay, so you say that Sour Grape Juice is not verjuice. But from what I've
seen all you have to do is leave the Sour Juice out for a bit. Now I do admit
there are wineries that are producing what they call verjuice and it may even
be real authentic verjuice at very high prices but I don't understand why you
say that Middle-Eastern Sour Grape Juice is not verjuice? From what I've
read, verjuice is made by crushing underripe grapes and draining off the juice.

The Sour Grape Juice I found was something like $4 for a half gallon. If this
isn't verjuice it is certainly better than mixing vinegar and cider.

As a side note, I was watching some cooking show on PBS a couple of
weeks ago and the host used verjuice in a dish.

So, is verjuice simply crushed grapes or is there more to it? But as for now
I'll stick to the Middle-Eastern stuff.

Yours,

Gunthar
