        give or take......
        Are you sure? I think it would be more accurate if you add a 2 on the end!

            Groovy. They look like Concord grapes, but I doubt you grow them in the Netherlands.

                  I must say that I like the enclosures and the ability to carry with the handles. Also like the wide mouth "glass" DJ - interesting - what to use it for? Have a safety advantage upon us guys carry the 23 liter carboy around although I guess that a carry bag something like that is available. Cheers - Like the grapes? Do ya know the agriculture conditions for those grape cultivars? DAW

                              I agree a fine job done you should be proud, and if they aren't going to be stored long then enjoy, if you are storing for a while I'd be tempted just to top them bottles up a little to prevent oxidisation, about 3/4 of an inch 2 cm would be ideal from the bottom of the cork. But if like my first ones they won't last too long so don't panic.

                                Hi looking good ! I too love that shape D/J wish I could get some. I have a friend that lives in Holland, I wonder if she could send me some or would there be a problem with Customs??
