How much wine are you making this year?

[GrillMonkey]

This year for me, in terms of wine making, started in June. So far I've made.

1 gallon "turbo" cider. (yuk!!)
5 gallons wine #1
2 gallons of wine #2 (these both turned to vinegar, most upsetting )
2 gallons of tinned strawberry
1 gallon Lychee Wine
2 gallons of Mead

So 13 gallons so far... Will probably making a simular amount over the rest of the year. Going out berry picking on sunday for Blackberries and possibly elderberries. And will be getting another Lychee wine on this weekend too. I've also gotten hold of some Xmas pudding for Xmas pudding wine and will no doubt be making a lot more Wine #1

I've got:

174 Bottles in various racks ageing
35 DJs in various stages of completion
1 x 5 Gallon carboy about to be racked

PLUS, 5 gallons of cider needing bottling and 3 gallons of beer clearing

(which if you count the wine in bottles, I've got 414 bottles of wine)

EEEK

I've got an even 100 gallons planned or already in the works. That's US gallons, so 83 imperial gallons.

lots of fruit

I managed to purchase a lot of fruit this summer and I have senior volunteers that have fruit trees also so my freezer is well stocked. I expect about
15 gallons of peach wine
5 gallons of strawberry
5 gallons of fig
5 gallons of plum
and possibly try a tomato wine. People around here are experiencing huge crops of tomatoes.

My winemaking was curtailed after shoulder surgery this year, I had my left bicep tendon severed because of so much damage.

I'm relatively new to this, and still experimenting and building up a 'portfolio', so I have nothing on a grand scale. In the cupboard at the moment:

1 gallon Jam wine (going to leave this one at least 6 months - clear as a bell but I hope it will improve flavour-wise)
1 gallon Simple Mead (very nice already, but self control required)
1 gallon Ancient Orange Mead (only 6 weeks old)
1 1/2 gallon Wine No.4
1 gallon Wine No.4 2nd run (quite unpleasant at the moment!)
1 1/2 gallon Christmas Pudding (possibly the best wine I have made)
2 gallons Wine No.1 (waiting a couple of weeks and hoping it smooths out)
2 gallons tinned blackcurrant (think this will need a while to become drinkable)
5 gallons Barolo (Beaverdale kit - very nice already, highly recommended)
3 gallons Choice Chateau wine kit (don't bother - cheap and nasty)

Starting tomorrow:
1 gallon Tinned Strawberry. Back by popular demand - my last batch got drunk almost immediately
1 gallon Rhubarb and Ginger (because Rhubarb is cheap in Tesco at the mo, and someone suggested a bit of ginger)
5 gallons Duffbeer's Modified Tins of Everything
2 gallons Kiwi Fruit (like just about everyone else on this forum!)

Grapefest boosted the running total quite a bit, with the pear wine and xmas pud wine included I am up to 72 gallons and almost at saturation point. I need to get some stuff bottled so I can get some more stuff in primary.

Yummy, looks like a party at her lushness'es

[lockwood1956]

I will be nudging close to 180 gallons this year I think

[NorthernWiner]

I'm right around the 120 gallon point. Every carboy and barrel I own now has something in it.

[Her Lushness]

268 Bottles, plus;

29 DJs in varying stages

25 litres of water for my new water purifyer


(OOOH dear! that's 442 bottles if it was all ready and done...)

It looks like Xmas at the Lushes will be a good un!!!

Party anyone?

(and I forgot the bottles of beer and cider sitting around!)

[rjb222]

I will be upping the amount this year wound up drinking some of last years ferment too soon so I thinking 180 - 200 gallons

[goldseal]

Again, I feel inadequate

I think I'll be up to about 50 - 55 gallons soon, if I find a solution to my Grapefest-induced DJ shortage.
