Joined: 26 Jun 2007 Posts: 8 Location: Vendee, France Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 8:54 pm    Post subject: I made elderflower wine last year and cracked open a bottle when my friend came to visit a year later. Altho it was very clear and I was quite pleased being as it was my first ever wine, it was far too sweet. Probably nice as a tall drink with lemonade and ice but way too sickly on its own! _________________ B&B in beautiful Vendee, France http://bed-breakfast-vendee.mysite.orange.co.uk/ Back to top Cabbagepatch 6 Star Club Joined: 15 Jun 2006 Posts: 3592 Location: S Glos Posted: Thu Jul 26, 2007 9:10 pm    Post subject: We have found the same chadspad, nice but too sweet and almost like a cordial.

Now getting enjoyed every evening as it still retains the unique flavour. Soon be time for elderberry!!
