Using up my entire green bottle supply

there was some sediment, about half a bottle I suppose. So I figure I should have probably racked once more.

But on a practical level, i am trying to clear a bit of space today, and this helped.

Nice wine, interesting how I did 3 batches of Elderberry to a very similar recipe, and they all three have developed differently.

One was pretty instantly drinkable.
One will be abig porty wine.
This one is pretty good, but will clearly benefit from more maturing.

When's the party then?

Wow, you must have some big wine racks in your home, Jema.

Seriously, all of our wine racks are full of home made and bought wine (mainly from France).

Every time I see a mention of home made alcohol on here it's getting me thinking about starting up again (I fancy making some cider!).

I know I'll never beat your target, but I'm going to get onto Lundy (he's an excellent wine and beer maker - even if I am a bit biased!!).

Iv'e gone for a wine box approach, a simply biscuit jointed stackable MDF box that works with little wastage per MDF sheet, you can cram in more bottles space for space that with a wine rack. Even so I am now shipping wine off to my parents garage, for long term storage.
