I Have not tried blending, but my grandfather did. The wine was a gooseberry wine which was brewed in 1986 and was racked but never bottled, then in 1989 it was blended with i think a blackberry wine that was a fresh brew, i have no idea why he blended them. Any way cut a long story short, my grandfather is no longer with us and on cleaning out the brewing cupboard we came across the 2 1 gal demi's of the stuff, which was left racked until just 4 months ago when we popped the bung and coffee filtered the contents and bottled it.

The result of 20 years and blending produced a mighty fine sherry and i mean mighty fine.
