So basically I’d like to make a gooseberry and elderflower wine, tinned of course, it is November after all and I don’t feel like endlessly browsing the internet for some frozen fruit with a 10 quid delivery charge...
So I was thinking 1.2kg tinned gooseberries (pretty standard), 250g sultanas like I usually do for vinosity.
But what’s stumping me is the dried elderflower. How much would you add to make it taste like elderflower without it obviously overpowering the gooseberry? Bearing in mind they’ll be tinned, and still keeping it fairly light and easy to drink. Should I lower the alcohol a bit from its usual 14%?
