jeeez. if it's not bad enough making wine out of puddings - but now suggesting making the things first to make into wine.
Grapes, that's what you need to make wine - grapes - not teabags, not orange peel and not Christmas puddings. Grapes.
Gluten free, caffeine free, dairy free, fat free – you gotta love this red wine diet!

The 30 year gap !
Hi all,
going back to winemaking after a small gap of 30 years !
I restarted 'cos my good lady had a bag of blackcurrants in the freezer to make some jam with. ( she may have forgotten about it !)
Anyway, I acquired them and put on a gallon of wine.June this year. (my usual way from the old days, 1kilo sugar, nutrient,yeast,dj,bubbler and go.)
I racked it end July, and bottled it to-day. Had a wee taste, and it is bone dry, dense black/red colour, and shiny ! I won't be able to resist it for long !!
I took a second run from the currants, added some dried sloes, and started fermentation. It is also dark coloured, dry, and just about ready to bottle.
I have 2 dj's with elderflower on, for my good lady. They have fermented out, but remain fairly cloudy. I will leave them alone for while, before thinking about some treatment.
So I seem to have a recurrance of the brew bug !
(But I have been forceably reminded of the incident concerning the 5 gal glass demijohn of bramble wine which was sitting behind the dining room door, and bubbling away nicely, right up to the incident concerning the 2 kids and a hammer ! ......nuff said!)
Anyway, looking forward immensly to the coming bramble and sloe season.
Before I sign off does anyone know the best way to get rid of the residue left on some wine bottles, after taking the label off ?
Beer bottles....any problems using them for wine ? (halve bottles are quite hard to find )
Thanks,
Ian

Welcome aboard Ian.
I find WD40 is quite effective for removing wine label residue. It's a bit smelly though, so I cover the opening with clingfilm first.Pete the Instructor
