The Pear wine is ready for bottling, 19 bottles plus a bit more in the fridge for quality control purposes and because we ran out of bottles

 

We just saved our old wine bottles and bought a gizmo that puts the corks into the bottles from Wilkinsons.

 

It's lovely and clear and it's not vinegary so the wine fly couldn't have got in, it's quite pleasant but clearly needs maturing which will be a good test of willpower!

That's very impressive I wonder if your will power will be up to it? I don't think mine could avoid just a little taste

Well done Poet!They look gooood! We had a spate of winemaking many years ago and did rice and raisin wine. For some unknown reason one botttle got left in the back of the cupboard A couple of years later we found it..it had matured into something very like whisky and fair near blew your socks off!! so its definately worth waiting..but only sometimes hey..! Xmas is coming,after all!

lovely...our pear wine was amazing....happy drinking...I'm sure yours will be too....

 

my mum is donating her apples...so husband should be able to make a little wine from them...yumm

 

he had two tree loads for the pear wine last year, sadly they didnt produce any this time...shame...

[Guest]

what recipe did you use cordelia? Just curious to see if it was similar to ours as though ours is nice, I wouldn't describe it as amazing

Ian keeps insisting on opening bottles Just thought you might be interested to know that it now seems to have turned a light pink colour! It's also not as acidic as it was at the start but I still think it needs quite a few months more. let's hope Ian hasn't drunk it all by then!
