Winery Review: Chris Buddin summarizes most of the reviews as such: "As a wine, sugar water..." Another reviewer commented "Grape jam and alcohol, the Passover OG" which I personally found very amusing. James Thomashower actually agrees, stating: "I've always liked it. A classic for Passover, it also pairs well with a pastrami on rye. It's unpretentious, sweet, and delicious."
Wine Folly: (Page 28) Concord - "An American grape of the native Vitis labrusca species, from Concord, Massachusetts, it is the most planted grape in New York and used for juices and flavoring. There might be nothing better than a peanut butter sandwich and a glass of Concord grape wine. Together, they make a PB&J. - Grape, Plum Sauce, Musk, Potting Soil, and Cumin."
My Review: This is, hands down, the second sweetest wine I've tasted for this class. Everything else is very well balances, but right off the bat it is very, very sweet. It holds a bloody red, borderline rose/purple tint to it while tasting very much like a cherry cola soda. All I can really say is that those reviews are extremely accurate. Try it for yourself. I guarantee you if you have never tried grape juice before in your life and then tried this wine, you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the alcoholic and commercially available types.
