I have a grape vine in my garden, so this year am gonna make my own white wine. Just wondered has anyone made theirs from home grown grapes?? Looks like I am gonna have a bumper harvest this year.

Hiya Whirley... I haven't, no.... but the Romans used to, so I believe. Not much help, I know..... but it does mean that it is possible... oh, and I think there is a Welsh vineyard somewhere around......

Good luck..... and will we all get a taster, lol

Love

How long have you had your vine for? I have had mine 3 years - this is the first time I have had a bunch grow & they are weeny

Party at your next year then Whirley.

Thanks Daff:).xxxxxx

Penny had ours for 4 years now, they dont grow massive like the ones in the shops, but they are very nice to eat, not sharp or anything and very edible....ours are in full sun for best part of the day...........

Marion, definately for sure.......I might have a grape/veg picking party, loads going on in my garden this year (Oh and in my real garden btw not me FB Farm)

Oh Daff, forgot to answer that bit....Yes hun, the first bottle has your name on it:) x

Huge grin!!

Daff xxxx

Perhaps next year then for me :-)

You can serve it in .....wee red wellies lol

Lol Whirley....my oh made wine with red grapes from a mates garden . He was very enthusiastic about treading them.......didn't let the wild life escape off the grapes . I named it snail and spider wine and did not participate in the drinking...........lol

Good luck with yours : ))

ohhhhhh i recon you have some real tips..................xxxx

for gawd sakes whirls dont let muffers be the taster.you,ll have none left.lol

I bought a grapevine about 6/7 years ago and have it round the side of the house where it gets the sun all day long.

It has masses of black grapes on it every summer but they are about the size of a garden pea! Very sweet though.

The grandchildren eat more than they collect so I don't think I would have enough to make one home made bottle of the stuff.
