Hi,
After a couple of years of testing and maybe a bit of nagging (you know who you are) I decided to step up to the plate!
I have bought & borrowed & begged some freezers.
Yesterday father and I produced the first serious batch..... and just in case here is the evidence
Frozen drums.jpg
I will be able to supply frozen crushed/destalked grapes across the UK. Dispatched overnight they will gently thaw out and be ready format fermentation in the next couple of days.
They will be in drums very similar to this.

The plan is to have all of the red varieties available. White will come later.
Having spoken to interlink (the courier company) - they will be £95 delivered to your door or £80 if you want to collect from me.
Finally can I just say - I will do my best for you ! This isn't a business, it's a hobby and I have a day job (that I need to keep ) so if sometimes I'm a little late replying to emails or you get the answerphone, please bear with me I will get back to you.
I hope this is good news. Please post your thoughts here - if you have any ideas that might make it easier they would be welcome too.
Logistically delivering frozen grapes to grapefest might be difficult ( but not necessarily impossible though) - I have to be very careful of my towing weights. It is just under 400 miles, and VOSA are very very keen on anybody towing.
