Making "goat cheese" from wine?

Hi:

 

I remember a biochemical pathway by one of the non-pathogenic species of Clostridium bacteria. This pathway convert ethanol to butyrate [which smells like cheese] and caproate [which smells like goats].

 

The above being said, is it possible to make goat-cheese from wine, if it is inoculated with the aforementioned microbe?

 

 

Thanks,

No. cheese is more than just a smell. You can make a bad smell from wine, but not cheese.

 

If you have grapes, it's better to feed the grapes to the goat, then milk the goat and make cheese.
