I tend to use dark bottles for reds, I know you should keep them out of direct sunlight while fermenting so makes sense to do so in the bottle too. How is your Sloe Wine and did it take long to clear? Mine is quite sour although I've back sweetened it and not tasted it since, it's taking...

I've made a few tinned fruit wines pretty much to the same recipe and they've been great. I liked the strawberry so much that I am currently doing a 15l batch :)

I just used the cheapest I could find. I think you need to steer clear of preservatives.

I made a tinned peach wine recently and it's lovely :) :cheers:

That looks like a great book :)

Do you mind me asking what sort of results you get with the syrups, and what kind of recipe you use? :cheers:

I bottled mine today, and was very happy with it :D I'll leave it a few weeks before drinking but it was fine today when I had a QC sip. I also made tinned srawberry wine in exactly the same way and that was nice too - I'll be doing some more tinned fruit wines. Thanks for sharing the...

Cheers folks! Guess I'll just have to sup it n see :cheers:

A friend of mine offered me a bottle of wine he made in 1982 today. It was his only bottle do I didn't accept it but am hoping to try if with him on his birthday. Is it likely to be drinkable?

I mashed mine up as best I could (which wasn't very much) and bunged it all in the FV. I'm planning on just leaving it until I rack it once it's finished fermeting and then topping up with WGJ or water. I have no idea if that's a good thing to do or not though, fingers crossed. :wha:

Mine were in syrup which I included :D

I'd like to know too :D

Thanks again Tim, this is the alternative I have to making the 'Port' as I've only enough sloes to do one or the other.... I'm leaning towards the Port though :cheers:

Thanks Tim, I'll give that a go :D

This is probably a stupid question..... The wine doesn't spoil having been exposed to the air I take it? Cheers! :cheers:

Isn't something like elderflower wine basically a flavoured version of this?

I was inspired at the weekend by another forum member to have a go at tinned peach wine... While at the supermarket I also got some tinned peaches and cherries. Anyway I put the peach and strawberry on yesterday and having read this thread I'm thinking about using the tinned cherries with the...

Lovely thanks, I'll get some going tomorrow :)

Hi, was this to make 5 litres? Cheers :cheers:

What's wrong with Miltons? :hmm:
