I've been trying a few home made wines this year as I have a lot of
fruit in the garden, have some gooseberry on the go and am just about
to try a recipe for elderberry and blackcurrant in the hope that it
might turn out a bit shiraz-y! However one of the problems I find with
home made wines that I've tasted (assuming that its a reasonable
taste),is the smell, or bouquet, or rather the lack of it, I actually
think the smell can often be as important as the taste,or maybe I'm
just a nose-y sort of person..I read that adding rose petals can help -
does anyone know of this is the case?
