Stavross 15,682 Posted September 17, 2023 Report Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) If like me you like a cold glass of Pinot whilst watching antiques roadshow on a Sunday evening, I can highly recommend this, it’s very dry ( how I like it ) and slightly acidic, I’ll normally only have one one a school night but I might go another small one Edited September 17, 2023 by Stavross 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I put fresh in, I use 500g of brambles every time, when I get them I put them in 500g bags and freeze them, if you haven’t picked any the ones from the supermarket are just as good, tastes miles better than sloe gin, even better if you mix it with Prosecco Quote Link to post Share on other sites
