Another craving I've been having recently..

When I was little, my Mum used to bring Ginger wine concentrate/essence back from our Christmas holiday in Scotland. She doesn't think you can get it anymore after asking relatives up there. Bought from a chemist too. Any of our Scotch readers know different?

I seem to recall it coming in a small bottle, no bigger than say a normal medicine bottle. To make the wine all you had to do was add the concentrate to a big saucepan of water and add tons of sugar, simmer, done!.

Raspberry wine was aswesome too!

PS. Mum's just reminded me, it was non alcoholic

you can get it in the co-op this time of the year. ginger concentrate

My father used to make ginger wine every year and the best thing to use was Black's Ginger Wine essence. This was bought in the local chemist but I haven't been able to buy it for many years. Friar Tuck's is an acceptable substitute though.
