Default Honeysuckle

Has anyone ever used honeysuckle for making wine
or for adding bouquet to a wine? I found a
recipe on Jack Kellers web site.

The stuff grows wild prolifically around here,
smells good and according to wikipedia has been
used to flavor wines.

It is VERY easy to gather the flowers and seems
like it might be a lot easier than trying to make
wine from dandelions.

I plan to add some to a sample size bottle of
vodka and just see what the extract smells and
taste like and if promising, add some to some
mead I have in bulk and some Riesling also.
