Country wine is the name for home brewed concoctions which aren't grape. Most of the recipes for 'wine' you get on here - parsnip, apple, orange etc are classed as country wines. I think it's because country people (those with local access to hedgerows for example) made them. With cars we all have access but look at Lark rise to Cranford et al. Most people never went further than they could walk so you had to be in the country to make them I guess.
