After visiting my Grandad the other day I am now the owner of another 3 demijohns! Unlike the other brewing vessels I acquired from him these were full of wine he made 25+ years ago! He isn't totally sure what flavour each one is but believes they are parsnip, sloe berry and elderberry. I'm not sure if they will all be any good but I have already siphoned one demijohn off into bottles and started drinking it. The other 2 have a lot of sediment in the bottom and smell slightly musty when I have taken the tops off for a quick sniff so may end up down the drain!

In total I bottled 5 full 750ml bottles and nearly filled a 6th. I couldn't tell what was used to make this wine but it tasted good to my unrefined palate. I also have no idea of how strong it was however after 2 large glasses I could tell I'd had it!
