Im looking at doing a strawberry wine. This is only my second batch of
wine, but have been making beer for some time now. I am looking at making a
really good batch. Clarity, taste, no sediment, ect. Any suggestions on
which of the 1000's recipes to use, clarifing agents, ect to use? I want to
be able to age until about Christmas time and send out some batches in
baskets.

Thanks,
Joe & Jody

There is a lot of good info in this thread:

It's about doing a pure strawberry, but there is still a lot of useful
information. HTH

Scroll down to strawberry at

Not a recipe as such, but might help.

I am not trying to discourage you or anything but most fruit wines take more
time than that to be all the things you are asking for. If you want
something to send out that soon I would suggest you make a high quality kit.

My strawberry was pretty drinkable in 6 months, and strawberry only
holds up a year or two (max).
