I chose a dark-ish red wine and let the film bathe in it for twenty hours or so at room temperature (22-23°C). The film was fully submerged. The Internet tells me that the alcohol (13-14°) is likely to degrade the emulsion and likely produce explosion-pattern dark spots. The wine will likely stain the film so dots and patches may appear.
Souping before exposing yields moderate effects. Add to this that it’s a BW film (no colour shifts, etc.) and that souping in wine is rather tame, underwhelming results are to be expected. Shall prepare one with pickle juice, toothpaste and isopropyl alcohol.
Needs to dry for at least 10 days.
UPDATE – I fucked up. It wasn’t at all dry after 10 days and it got stuck at frame no. 18 in the Lomo Apparat. Then I fucked up again by developing it together with a low ISO Ortho film in Caffenol of all things – the T structure of the Ilford delta can, in fact be developed in caffenol but in different concentrations of its ingredients. No usable frames.
