Hi there
Can anyone recommend a good recipe/website/book which will help me create wine from the elderberries, currants (blue ones from a ribes shrub) and brambles growing in my Scottish garden?
thanks in advance

Welcome newbie, If you look through this newsgroup you will see most folks referencing Jack Keller's Winemaking website:
I also reference to these sites:
Good luck, I've never entered into elderberries or currants for wine. But it sounds yummy!
As above, Jack Keller! But, mentioning a Scottish Garden, I would say you need a copy of C.J.J. Berry's books. Look them up on the web site. I would suggest him as the father of home winemaking. Very instrumental in bringing it to the fore as a hobby. His books are a little dated but his recipes are first rate and in English units which would go well with your garden. His book "130 New Winemaking Recipes" is the only source of wine cartoons I have ever seen. Worth having for that alone.
