I found this on a blog I read and if I had honeysuckle I would definately give it a go!
This is a lovely, light flowery white wine to make. Only ever use the flowers, as the berries are poisonous;
3 pints of honeysuckle flowers - measure in a jug, lightly pressing down
1 gallon just off the boil water
1 tbsp dried yeast
2 1/2lbs white sugar
2 tea bags
1 lemon
handful sultanas/raisins
Look over the flowers, only use the best ones, and watch out for insects. Put in large bowl, and pour over the water; cover, and leave 24 hours. Strain, then warm up the liquid to blood temp; add the rest of the ingredients, stir to dissolve sugar. Cover tightly and leave for about 5 days in a warm place, then transfer to a demi-john after straining, and ferment out. Bottle, label and leave at least a year if you can.

Oooh we've got masses of honeysuckle in the garden AND loads more in the hedges around here....perhaps I'll discuss this with OH and see what he thinks (he says he's never managed to make a good flower wine....)
