Definitely after we drink! 🤣 I would need the courage! 🤣.jeez, what did u tell the feds? 😳😳😳 I would definitely share my wine with u, but have since given thought to sharing with my neighbours as they have phoned me out of my bed at midnight for free bottles of wine while they have been...

I could tell u, but then I'd have to kill u! 🤣🤣🤣

So.. as most of you already know, I got my neighbours rather inebriated last weekend, and had to put them both to bed. So my wine is two weeks bottled and my kitchen has just flooded and is currently like a swimming pool, it's 3 inches of snow and the plumber can't come until tomorrow so I...

It was definitely a good story... broken neighbours 🤣

It was only meant to be 1 but as we got talking we just kept drinking 🤣 my neighbour said I've broken her husband 🤣 he fell over when he went out the front door and ended up on the floor, we had to pick him up 🤣 and then I had to put his wife in bed because she could barely stand.... personally...

It's a rose wine which isn't my normal go to, I usually go for a good chardonnay 😊

Well, 1 bottle led to me calling my neighbours round.. " you really need to come and try this" so 4 ppl and 7 bottles later, I had to carry my neighbours home because it was so easily drinkable! I also have my grand daughters first birthday cake to make today and I am in not fit state to do it...

Check out M.Y.O Wine kits. 10 days. 7 days to ferment and 3 days for finning. Drinkable from being first bottled but also says it improves with age so a few weeks 😊

Ypu, it does and I made it 😂 and I have just cracked a bottle open... I was expecting it to taste like vinegar and I have been pleasantlysurprised! I can't believe I've actually made it myself! I'm sure it will definitely improve with age so another few weeks should be great!

Thank you!! I think I am going to taste test it. I was hoping to hold off until nearer Xmas but like u say, tastes with change as the wine ages and it might stop me constantly thinking about it. This was a 10 day kit but I think ur right about waiting much longer for a better tasting wine...

Funnily enough when I was a wee lassie I used to make beer/lager with my dad. I remember sitting perched on the bunker (worksurface) and my job would be to stir the hops on the stove. I used to love doing this!! And I think that's what has brought me to wine making. I don't really drink lager...

🤣 I have 1 big cupboard for storage... that's all and most of it is filled with my first 30 bottles. So I'm now trying to figure out if there's anywhere else I can store more 🤣

At least its not the worst addiction 🤣

Brilliant, thank you! I'll take a wee look. Would be nice to have something ro drink now while the othe stuff is away! Thanks for the link! 😊

I'm waited with baited breath for the recipes 😊
