Have never tried making wine and the rhubarb is the only thing flourishing in the garden right now. Is it easy?

winemaking is very easy!
the hardest part is getting your head around the vast amount of information .... you'll find 10 people telling you 10 different methods and 10 different recipes .... but then you realise they're all "right" .... and it's easy to stick to basic recipes, basic ingredients, basic methods

Looking good Andy!

I started a rhubarb wine with a couple of sticks from the garden about 10 days ago, and it has started to ferment quite nicely now. I used a recipe from John Wright, the foraging fella who hangs sround with Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall.



I have been told that it is a nice wine for blending as it doesn't change existing flavours in the other wine, but I think I will keep it pure as a light, summer's afternoon tipple. (Assuming that we actually get a proper summer this year)



I am hoping that it will be ready to drink in about two weeks time - I will let you all know how it tastes.
