Thanks all for the help so far.

Thing is, everyone seems to be into beer, so where are all the winos then ?

Stagger over here and say hello, 'C'mon the Winos !

Hi. I make red and white wine about once a month. Nothing special though, just the cheap kits from Morrisons. Got a 1 gallom strawberry clearing atm and a 5 gallon carafe 21 red kit waiting to go into the fermentor when the Dogbolter comes out of it.

*waves hand* I brew anything I can, which is currently beer, cider from kits and apples, mead and wine made from anything and everything. Wines on the go at the mo are: apple (x4), peach, Tesco red grape juice, Tesco blackcurrant cordial, Jasmine tea and hop wine. The Jasmine tea wine smells bloody marvellous!

Hi guys, so we are all fairly new to the site, cant stand all those lager louts on here,

Lets get a wino gang together eh !
Brewed wine many years ago in demi johns, but it got harder all the time to find H.B suppliers, I thought it was all finished, so hail wilkos and morrisons eh.
Doing an Italian red at the mo.
Best wine I ever tasted was Elderberry. Thing was, we had an Elderberry tree in my mums garden for 30 odd years that went to waste.
If only I knew then what I know now !

hey hey hey

another wino here

I try as hard as I can not to buy from morrisons, as they dont carry enough stuff, and have no knowledge of the product, they also only stock stuff from vina, and they (vina) have gone out of business so their shelves will be emptying soon.

regards
Bob

My dad used to make elderberry wine (and blackberry also) - I have numerous childhood memories of standing by the side of dual carraigeways picking elderberries & blackberries from the bushes at weekends.

Sadly as I was young I wasn't allowed to try the wine

What about being sat forking the berries off the stems into a bucket? Hours of fun...

I too have a wine currently bubbling...

Hello fellow Winos,

Lockwood, never been to a morrisons, so would not know, some one on here mentioned they stock it, but it seems you have stopped me making an unnesasary journey, where do you get your kits from then ? will check out your forum defo.
Is 1956 your d.o.b ?

Steve, you may have something there. Sure your names not Sherlock ?

Hi again Daab, I think Cider is the Devils brew. though I used to love the stuff.
I remember talking to an old guy in a pub in cornwall, he had moved there from Devon. He reckoned that the Cornish people were "Dead from the neck up"
"Oh really" I replied, "do you think it has anything to do with the cider" ?
He looked at me very serious, raised his voice to a shout, and banged his fist up and down on the bar as he replied,
" The Coider, the Coider, Of course its the Bloody Coider "

Hiya C.P.

Jonnyv My Dad was the opposite, he used me as his guinea pig !

Hi Sparky, lucky you, I have a bad feeling that my batch has gone wrong.

Nice to meet you all then, fellow winos, cheers, Hic !

I dont do many kits any more, im a fresh grape kind of guy (imported from Italy and Spain) but when I did, I got them from my local HBS ...homebrew supplies in doncaster, or hop and grape while on my travels North with work

Is 1956 your d.o.b ?

yes it is....officially an old fart!
