Hi Breweragain, you want to look round the charity shops or library for one of the old country wine recipe books. I remember my mum used to make tea wine which ended up tasting like sherry and can be made at any time of the year.

You can also use any fruit juice (not squash - pure juice) - used to make lovely wine from the rosehip syrup the baby clinics used to give away, but you can't get it now
