Home Winemaking Recipes
I've tried quite a few different wines and have experimented with fruits, vegetables and more. Some turned out horrible while others turned out amazingly fantastic!

In some folklore, it is said that when a couple were married, they were sent away together for a month along with copious amounts of mead – a fermented beverage made with honey.

Black Currant Wine

A couple of recipes I…
Gooseberry Wine Recipe
Goosberries have always been a favorite fruit of mine – my parents had gooseberry bushes in the backyard when I was young, and I used to love picking them and eating them right from the vine. When I was a teenager, I worked on a farm which had loads of gooseberry bushes growing, and one…
