Time for Blueberry Wine

Yesterday we finally bottled our blueberry wine. To finish it off before bottling we added some liquid oak extract,and white grape wine concentrate.  We used white instead of red because there was no red grape wine concentrate to be found. Using white instead of red only lightens the colour of the wine, however the blueberry wine is already very dark so no difference was noticed.

We started this wine back in March 15, 2011.  After the bottle shock has worn off we'll start to drink it. So far the blueberry wine has not disappointed.

Some of the blueberry wine we saved to make a blueberry port.  My next article will cover making the blueberry port.

Next time instead of blueberry I'll make a blackberry wine and port.

Did I tell you wine making is fun? It really is.
