Well, thats pretty much my whole question really. Does anyone know if you can make home made wine with frozen or cooked fruit. I vaguely think not but we have a ton of frozen plums & no-one with a constitution that can manage them.

Thanks alot

    Hi Panda,

    To be honest I don't know, but according to my neighbour the owner of this site: Homemade winemaking for beginners is very helpful and will answer questions by e-mail.

    You can make wine from anything that has a sugar content .

    Plum wine is excellant and can be distilled with a the aid of a simple flask and cooling coil into Plum Brandy !

    Thank you both ( i notice the buttons are back too !)

    I'll have a look around on that site for guidance anyway as its a few years since i did anything like this.
    I particularly like the sound of the Plum Brandy, I dont suppose you have a website to guide me to for that particular experiment ????


    Thanks again
