Home Wine-Making
Apple, apricot, beetroot, parsnip, elderflower, gooseberry, rhubarb, raisin, parsley, marigold and cowslip, are just a few of the wines you can make at home. In theory it's simple: take some sound fruit, vegetables, flowers or herbs, add sugar and yeast, and ferment. Rack regularly, bottle, store and drink merrily. In practice though, it can be more difficult. The fermentation may stick, the wine may turn to vinegar, it may need added grape tannin or yeast nutrient, the wine may become cloudy, despite filtration, or in the end, the alcohol level may be too low.
To answer your queries this morning, two vintage experts are in the studio: Cyril Berry , Editor of Amateur Winemaker, and Andy Andrew.
Fermentation provided by Sue MacGregor. Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit
