Rose Hip Wine


  • Forage 3-4lb Rose Hips (hard work believe me) (Thanks to my best mate Cossi)
  • 2lb sugar
  • 1tsp yeast
  • 1tsp yeast nutirent
  • 1 litre red grape juice (They were sold out of white which I would have preferred)

  • Boil the rose hips for a long time until they begin to soften
  • Mash them
  • Add the sugar
  • Stir and allow to dissolve
  • Once the must is well flavored with the Rose hip juice pour through a fine sieve to remove the flesh and seeds.
  • Pour the filtered must into the Demi John
  • Add the grape juice top up with cold water
  • Wait until the liquid is lukewarm
  • Add yeast and nutrient
  • Pop the trap on and wait for 4 weeks for the fermentation to slow
  • Rack off into a clean Demi John
  • Wait another 4 weeks
  • Bottle... wait... drink... enjoy!
