I have been wanting to make red wine terrine for some time but did not get an opportunity. Finally got an opportunity to make it for a friend who was shifting house. after a hectic day , Wine terrine is a perfect dessert.
It is strictly an adult only dessert as the wine content is substantial. Though the colour and look makes it very attractive for the kids. Thankfully my daughter was not around and I did not have to explain her why she could not eat it.
As I am a big fan of single serves, I set a few servings in dessert cups also. It is just more convenient. Each guest can pick their serving when they want.
In a Wine Terrine you can add berries, apple, plums, grapes, banana etc. There are no berries available in this season in Bangalore so I used grape, banana and plum. Mint adds a distinct flavor. It is not a very sweet dessert , and sugar quantity may vary depending on the kind of wine you use. I used merlot.
