planning ahead

I am planning ahead for my late autumn and winter projects. Elderberry, black currant, and pomegranate are on the slate. I have only made wine from fresh/frozen fruit and/or store bought juice.

For the currant and elderberry, I figure that juice buckets are my best option. I would prefer to purchase from winemakingtalk sponsors, but I am open to other suggestions. Any suggestions on suppliers and delivery options to Central Oregon. I am a total newbie on the juice bucket option.

For the pomegranate, I can use the Pom Wonderful route when Costco has their sale. I did this last year with decent results though my wine couldn't begin to come close to the pomegranate wine that Whole Foods was selling. Any suggestions on pomegranate juice buckets or other pomegranate options. The self-crushed pom really isn't an option for me.

Thanks in advance, and I really appreciate any suggestions. I have studied the archive info, but the total info puts my mind on overload. Lol.

I get my black currant juice from Knudsen:

It's pricey, but I only make 1-3 gallons of wine/melomel at a time with it & it has to be diluted a bit, so it works for me. It's JUICE, not puree & is easier to work with. I'd like figure out (approx.) how much fruit is equal to X amount of the juice though, it would make things a little easier.

I know Oregon Fruit cans many fruits/purees, among them is black currant. I've never used their puree, but their other canned fruit is pretty good.

Vintner's Harvest makes a "fruit wine base," I've never used them either, but they could be useful to you as well. I've heard that they include a wine recipe with the canned puree, but that if you only use 1 can, the resulting wine is a bit thin.

Hope you find this info useful.
