My in-laws - now deceased - used to make home made wine from all sorts of stuff they grew at home or garnered in hedgerows, including dandelions. Definitely a taste I did not acquire.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

The most lethal one we made was from plums had a hangover for 4 days after that one. Funny thing is i dont drink these days, maybe the odd glass of wine but thats it.
Sloe gin is lovely although it is a bugger washing all the sloes and then making a small cut in each one. I picked 11lbs of sloes last year when i was on holiday in the New Forest. Think i've only had 1 small glass of it.......just popping out to the kitchen. Hic

I remember sampling some home made elderberry wine many years ago. It worked...and I've never ever ever wanted to repeat the experience.
