Yes, I've been given glasses of wine like that.
Me too. My FIL used to make wine out of tea :-(

I've used cold tea in winemaking, it adds tannin, but like everything else
is a matter of taste, very usefull if the recipe doesn't require grapes or
sultanas etc.
The best wine I managed to make in a 15 year winemaking spell was from
nettles, but a tip for anyone attempting it - don't use nettles after mid
May - the seed heads give the wine an aroma of old cheese!! - early spring
growth is best, anything else and you are in Camembert country.
