I turned Mountain Dew into wine — it’s just 3 ingredients and easy to do

Here’s a recipe for Dew it Yourself wine.

A mad food scientist on TikTok who published a video of his winemaking experiment using Mountain Dew is sharing his secret method for any viewers who dare to Dew the brew.

The transformation took Charles Biolo about a month to complete — a process that he initially documented in five separate TikTok videos which have garnered nearly 24 million views total. Chicago-based Biolo admitted at the beginning of the recent how-to video that he wasn’t sure it was going to work, explaining that the only thing needed to make wine is sugar and yeast.

“My plan was simple: Combine Mountain Dew with honey and yeast in a mead kit and let it ferment for a few weeks and see what happens,” he said.

While it might seem like a lot of sugar at the beginning of the process, Biolo shared that all of it ends up being consumed by the yeast, producing hooch as a result.

He added that the preservatives in the soda, which would prevent the bev from turning boozy, are rendered ineffective at higher pH levels, so Biolo added a bit of baking soda to alkalize the mixture.

To Biolo’s shock, the concoction already started fermenting by day two — but he continued the experiment for another four weeks before adding a clarifying agent for a less cloudy appearance. A few weeks after that, he confirmed that the drink was done.

The wine he created had an estimated alcoholic content of 13.9%.

In another surprise to Biolo, the drink “didn’t taste completely like battery acid” — he described it as a smooth, citrus mead with a “slight chemical aftertaste.”
