These days, it seems like a lot less faerie magic is used in the making of dandelion wine... a shame, really, but with faerie magic so hard to come by it doesn't really come as a big surprise. Dandelion wine is still alive and well, though; people still enjoy the sweet taste that's just a little bit different than the other wines out there. Of course, there are other uses of the dandelion that are common these days as well... there are dandelion recipe books, dandelion cook-offs, and dandelion festivals (which no doubt feature some dandelion wine somewhere in the mix.)
With winemaking evolved at its current state, it's no wonder that there's a grassroots fondness for dandelion wine. It's easy to make, so even those home winemakers who don't have the time or money to spend on making more elaborate wines can enjoy it. The taste is still sweet and delightful, pleasing the palate and offering an alternative to the sometimes-harsh grape and fruit wines that are more plentiful. One of the biggest appeals, however, may simply be that dandelion wine is a tradition handed down to us from our ancestors... hundreds of years or more can vanish in a single sip, bringing you together by a common activity with those who came and went before.
