You could do some mead if you don't mind shelling out for the honey...  Mine is on the go at the mo'. :)  Just have to keep supping the bitter that I made, until it's ready. 15p a pint, 6% abv and tastes better than the Tesco crap I used to buy!  ;D

I have brought some more parsnips up to get another gallon going. I have just tasted the current demijohn of parsnip wine, it is truly awesome. The cane sugar has definitely given it a gorgeous flavour ...

Both parsnips and beetroot lend themselves to the `sherry` style.

I can`t find the recipe for beetroot but from memory it used dried apricots and grape concentrate as well.

Beetroot based wines can be very good but ,as with most, if not all vegetable based wines they need long maturation-three years for beetroot would be about the minimum.

I decided to leave the beetroot, since otherwise I could be accused of crowding out our living room !!! Perhaps next year, although I think this parsnip could well be my favourite tipple for the winter and late nights ...
