Great job, I say keep both, they will both suit different bottles. When I was scrolling down this thread the black one looked like a Jack Daniels Label, had to take a double look! Just started an experiment with a few different bits n pieces I had in the kitchen and thought Id get ahead of...

Just started a Skittles and Starburst wine and thought I'd give the whole labeling thing a go. It's a fun label for a fun wine. Anyone any thoughts on printing? I ordered some general use A4 stcker paper and it seems fine but if there's anything better out there I'd love to know.

Thanks, his Blackberry and Elderberry sat for about a year before it was put on the table! ** just heard he had a Blackberry & Elderberry aged for 7 years and it was possibly one of the best wines my Dad ever tasted, hasn't came across anything like it since.** Sent from my GT-I9300 using Wine...

Thanks, Yeah I could start a few with little knowledge from his notes but its a confidence thing with me, I'll maybe crawl before I walk! I,m sure I'll have a few questions lol! Thanks, My first batch is going to all the family so we can toast him. Found a few more of his demi's in his garage...

Starting my first ever batch today! Peach and Gorse Flower. Going to hold back on the Gorse flower a little as I only want a slight hint of it. Really looking forward to this!

Thanks everyone, the encouragement, kind words and sense of community here is very promising. He was a very generous man and always gave his wine to people, from what I have heard and been told his wine would have made a fortune but he would never venture down that road. He got his reward...

Thanks GreginND. Yeah when I started moving all the equipment into my garage and read through all his notes it hit me that it was a bit of a legacy. Massive pressure though to perform as the rest of the family are waiting on a batch lol! Sent from my GT-I9300 using Wine Making mobile app

Thanks Derek / Steve, much appreciated. Really looking forward to it.

Hi folks, I'm Aidan from Dundrum, Northern Ireland. My Grandfather made wine for as long as I can remember and it was well known for being some of the best wine around. He had the whole family out at least once a month picking fruit and flowers for his next batch! I can remember visiting and him...
