after 24 years, I've decided to start making my own wine again, are there any wine makers out there?

I'm hoping to start doing some fruit wines this year, following the success of the cider last year. It may depend a bit what fruit is around, but as I've got the press I might as well use it!
I'm hoping my brother will get his next shed in place soon - it's to be designated the brew-house! Although I did all my pressing outdoors last year (and probably will do again) as it reduces the chances of nasties.

I've made blackcurrant wine and gooseberry wine when I've run out of jam jars!
I just bought a book, collected all the bits and bobs I needed from Wilkos (demi-johns from car boot sales are cheaper) and off I went. I got a corking thingy from Ebay and collected empty wine bottles from anybody willing to donate a few.
I also make blackcurrant vodka and gin ( a bit like a schnapps). Ask some of the other TOGs what that is like - I think they liked it!

Elderberry wine, cider, Calvados and beer. My son is the expert on home brewed beer. He has one prizes for his Ales. There is loads of information on the web and recipes to. Enjoy
