Not unless you slice it with a micro-thingy. Oh you know that lab instrument used to thinly slice biologic stuff for microscope observation.
Now for the cheese. To me there is a big difference between a nice block of something like Boar's Head American and that process crap wrapped up in the plastic sleeves sold by Kraft and others.
To me, there has to be a difference in the ingredients and the manufacturing/curing process, because the taste seems different. As in, Kraft has no taste it is just soft bulk stuff that melts when heated. Boar's Head has some taste that even starts to approach something cheesey.........
Just my humble opinion.
Ne buvez jamais d'eau.

That micro-thingy is a microtome.

That may be the secondary definition in the 14th edition of the famed Funk & Wagnalls.

Getting back to the original question, Nissley Vinyards of Bainbridge, PA puts out something in a 375 ml bottle simply called Black Raspberry. The fine print says it is 75% Raspberry Wine (fermented beveage) and 25% Grape Wine. It is a nice dessert fermented part wine beverage that goes where Port and other red dessert wines go.
Only catch is you have to go to Pennsylvania to get it, or have a friend or relative in the Lancaster area.

Evineyard.com - or - wine.com (both the same) have Bonny Doon Framboise on sale for less than $10.00 a half-bottle.
Bonny Doon NV Raspberry Framboise (half-bottle) Central Coast, California
NOTE:
This bottle contains 375 ml of wine. This is 1/2 the volume of the typical (750 ml) wine bottle.
