Hedgerow wine

There are a few of us at the Allotment Society that like a drink. On our last outting the a Wine Society was inaugriated. The main criteria being the the wines are not made from fruit and have to be ready for Christmas.

With the rules in mind I have two demi-johns of Dandeloin and one demi-john of Rhubarb wine bubbling away in the kitchen. The Dandelion changes colour every few days from green to yellowish and back again. However the Rhubard remains a constant "bubblegum" pink. The Rhubarb was slow to start fementing but now it looks like Lemonde with the amount bubbles running up the sides of the bottle. Neither one shows any signs of slowing down so it is time to be patient and figure out where to get some more Rhubarb for free.

The Society is to have an outting on Friday evening so we might find out what other people have bubbling away. I have a hankering for Nettle wine. It will be some to do with the extensive supply of nettles growing round the edge of my plot!
