I did and elderflower wine back in June, my first ever wine!
It was done the usual way and ended up at about 10.5% and chucked in a demijohn after 3 weeks and left until it was crystal clear and bottled in early august. Ended up with 6 full bottles and a 500ml pet bottle that was nearly full.
I couldn't help myself, cracked open the pet bottle to have a taste at how a young elderflower wine tastes..
Disappointed
It's very good on the nose, loads of elderflower smell, but the initial taste is a bit weak and watery with a vegetable after taste.
Yes I know, it's only a couple of months old... But will it improve significantly over time, or is it always going to be a bit "thin"?
