Well starting to see the early signs of leaf comming on the oaks and new shoots of spring all around, so what are you planning for this this years country wines?
Success from last year will make more:
1. Young Oak Leaf wine (excellent wine)
2. Champayne Rhubard Wine (need to get root from ye old dad)
3. Crab apple wine (although not finshed - can tell it's gonna be good)
4. Tea & Gorse (slight twist on tea wine the gorse went really well with it)
5. Orange mead & Juneberry (dependant on crop)
6. Rose Petal Wine (if flowering is good)
The usual suspects:
1. Blackberry
2. Sloe
3. Elderflower (already started dried)
4. Elderberries (just for a mixer if I note where the fresh elder trees are when in flower)
5. Gooseberry (depending on crop)
6. Strawberry (dependant on crop)
7. Blackcurrent (dependant on crop - might make jam instead if I don't drink enough of it, don't even like jam)
8. Damson
9. Peach & apricot wines, always available
Not bothering this year with:
1. Ginger wine, drank 1 bottle not keen on.
2. Parsnip, still have 16 bottles
3. Carrot, still have 6 bottles
Like to try again:
1. Broad Bean wine
2. Mango (have feeling got a problem with corks)
Like to attempt:
1. Pea pod wine (depends on crop or buying some fresh peas)
2. Plum (for some reason haven't made, suppose been happy with damson and sloe wines)
3. Sea buckthorn wine (experimental - need some serious gloves for this, maybe some chain mail in...lol), or might just buy a bottle.
4. Cranberry - with berries (sourced not picked)
5. Haven't made orange wine for some years, so maybe or a lemon wine possibly both.
6. Sweet potatoe wine (they say it's good)
7. Lingonberry
8. Bilberry/wimberry
7. Whatever takes my fancy! (basically can't remember everything I want to do)
