I haven't made it -but I might try it as my beetroot are getting monstrous.

Here's a couple I found with google ("beetroot wine" recipe)

http://www.blunham.demon.co.uk/Yorksgen/Recipes/Brews/Wine.html
http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/reques29.asp

Some of the sites look like they might be worth wandering around.

Perhaps we should do a tasting in a year or 2?

Eat it raw, grated in salads! Or there is beetroot cake! Just cooked and eaten hot,(with or  without a sauce)  roasted with balsamic, or there are a few nice curry recipes...............I am just jealous cos mine are still tiny :'( When I made betroot wine, I thought it had an "earthy" taste to it, wasn't one of my favorites, but if I ever get an excess, might give it another go!
