Can anyone identify gooseberrys?

Not exactly vineyard but i keep seeing recipes for gooseberry wine, and i believe i have wild gooseberrys growing in the woods behind my house, can anyone tell me for sure if they are or not from my picture? (im pretty sure they are)

Regular gooseberry stems are covered with spines. But newer varieties like Pickswell have been bred to have fewer or no stickers. The leaves and berries look like gooseberries to me.

Those are not like the goose berrys we have here in the western part of Tennessee. They do have thorns or stickers on the tunk, but the berries grow on the top most part of the plant, they look kinda like elderberries except they don't droop over, the cluster of berrys are shaped kinda like a Christmas Tree. I'm sure there are a lot of different kinda of goose berries, but those in the picture are not like ours.

W/O thorns, my guess is currant.

I guess the main this i's asking for is, are these things ok to make wine with once ripe? lol basically as long as its not poisonous i'm gonna try making wine from them.

That looks like unripe currents to me.

If they're wild currants, they are likely Golden/Clove ... I planted a row of 25 of these this year
