Check out this math for 4.5 gallons of wine:

-1 5 gal bucket with lid 1 dollar
-1 vapor lock 1 dollar
-4 pds white sugar 2 dollars
-1/4 cup yeast 20 cents
-1 hour picking wild blackberries

It compares to a lower end store bought wine like Gallo or what have you only it does not have that sort of astringent after taste of the store purchased product.

If I wanted to make it more "organic" would have used cane sugar instead of table sugar.

All in all, have made 9 gallons of Blackberry Winter (or country sugar wine) for a cost of maybe..10 dollars

Next will be pear wine for the winter as there is a local pear tree that no one harvests as the pears are to "hard" to readily eat.

That and some crab apple vinegar

I am sooo impressed, Padre. I have 5 bottles of vinegar on my counter but I am a litle afraid of them LOL

Apple Wine, this is the last "gasp" of summer fresh produce to make Country wine. Blackberry wine was a hit, had some quirks like I did not have as many Blackberries as the recipe required.

Should be ready in November, guess what the Christmas gifts will be?
