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: http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/

I also reference to these sites:
http://winemakermag.com/mrwizard/
http://www.brsquared.org/wine/
http://scorpius.spaceports.com/~good...inerecipes.htm
http://www.geocities.com/lumeisenman/

Good luck, I've never entered into elderberries or currants for wine.
But it sounds yummy!

p.s. with all on the web, I never invested in any books, if some
recommends one, suggest buying it used from www.half.com which is owned
by ebay and has fixed shipping costs, which I find better than ebay
where shipping can be anywhere from free to $40.00. sigh.

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.
