Does anyone have a recipe for ginger wine?

My gran used to make this many years ago but, sadly, is no longer with us so I can't ask for the recipe.

It may be a Scottish thing as there doen't appear to be much on the internet. I found a 'Mrs Beaton' recipe but its not too clear.

I love the stuff so I would really like to attempt to make some.

Hi Ayeshalush,

There's a link to a traditional Scottish recipe on this thread:

Ginger Wine

I'll add your thread to that one later to keep the replies together.

Sorry I did do a search for ginger wine but it didn't come up with anything!!

The recipe on that thread is the Mrs Beaton one that is not very clear.

Anyone with another?

Thanks

Hi Ayeshalush
I have just made ginger wine (my grandpa used to make it every year for all the grandchildren). I used the ginger flavouring concentrate from the Co-op -
'The co-operative ginger yu-lade' cost was £1.09 for the bottle and you just use water and sugar to make it.

Thank you, will check out my local co-op tonight.

I've been looking for a ginger wine essence for the past couple of years because the one we used when I was little (Friar Tuck's) is no longer available. I even went to the co-op and the ladies in there have never heard of it (or yu-lade). Is this only available in Scottish Co-op's?
Think I was spoiled as far a Scottish ingredients in England was concerned when growing up, as I lived in Corby (family moved down in mid-60s when I was 4).
Does anyone know if yu-lade is available by mail order? Really fancy some ginger wine with my shortbread on New Year's Eve

Why not just buy a bottle of Stone's Ginger Wine? It is easily available in the shops at this time of year and not too expensive, my dad has a bottle in his stocking every year.

Or Past Times have a non-alcholic version in their shops at the moment.

Or if you want a real kick try Ginger Tams from these guys

I tried some at Burghley and it was lush! Would be perfect for a hip flask when you are out in the cold!

If anyone does have a good receipe though i'd be interested in having a go.
