VINE TO WINE

You've made various vegetable and fruit wines and now you want to go one better? You get yourself some vines and that's when your troubles start!!! This blog will cover it, warts and all, from start to finish, helping you to produce that dream wine from your own vines - sherry, port, or whatever floats your boat, in a not too arty-farty or fanatical way.

What type of vine do you want?

Whether you want a greenhouse vine or an outdoor vine, then you have to ask yourself a few questions.

Do you want to make wine with your grapes, producing far too many eaters, or simply have an ornate vine-covered pergola?

The pricipals are all basically the same, although there are differences with maintenace for each type.

What I am intending to do primarily is to show you how to grow, train and control a greenhouse vine, with a view to producing wine-making grapes in abundance.

I shall be posting on a regular basis (hopefully weekly) to show any interested readers how the vines are selected and cared for throughout the year.

But starting at the beginning, before you actually start to get the feel of grape skins squelching up between your toes and the pips hurting the balls of your feet as you tread them to mush as you begin producing your own wine, maybe you have no idea of how to get the ball rolling by planting or caring for a grapevine.

If so, watch this space......
