Wine making from the garden

  • I usually manage some rhubarb wine although don't have any in this house yet. Always easy to make from fresh or frozen. Last house also had erratic crab Apple production but made many gallons in a good year. This house has yielded some Elderberry and BlackBerry so far, more planting due..

    Will check out that drink your garden book too.

    I have to say I am spectacularly unenthusiastic about these wines. I’d no more drink wine made from stuff mentioned here than eat apple pie made with conkers or cottage pie made from parrot meat.

  • If you’ve not ever drunk a glass of the late Anne Proctor’s bullace wine, then I’m very sorry for you @BenCotto ... summer in a glass 😀

    I had a few of these ‘domestic’ wines in the 1970s when they were quite in vogue. I feigned enjoyment.

  • I promise you @BenCotto ... you would not have had to feign anything 😊 but Anne’s bullace wine was exceptional ... although I had good bullaces  and followed her instructions, neither mine nor anyone else’s ever rivalled hers.
