Last spring the Grandkids were selling flats of strawberries for Band Boosters and Football Boosters. I bought several flats and made strawberry wine using parts of two or three recipes I found on the net.
The wine turned out great and was really good after only a couple months so most of it was consumed last summer.
I opened the last one yesterday and the cork "popped" like a champagne bottle!! When I poured it in the glass it fizzed up similar to beer. I checked the bottle but there was no sediment in the bottom and the wine was crystal clear. I know I was fortunate that I didn't wind up with bottle bombs but in the same breath I wish I had made some notes because although I made a mistake it made some EXCELLENT sparkling wine!!
