Watch as Davin shows you how to make an amazing Sloe Wine from scratch. This wine is simply stunning so go pick some sloes and give it a try, you will be pleasantly surprised!

This is an amazing deep red wine that so full of amazing flavours with a nice little kick from the acidity. The moulding process gives it a really spicy note.

Yes this wine does involve a mould. But like lots of other foods a mould can add a huge amount of flavour. Take a Blue Cheese, the mould helps to add note only flavour but texture too and even changes the way the cheese feels in the mouth. The mould in this wine adds flavour and without it, yes it will be a nice wine, but not an amazing wine. If you are at all concerned about growing a mould, then you can skip this part of the recipe. Instead: - Pour on the boiling water. Put on the lid and leave somewhere cool for 7 days to allow the fruits to infuse their colours and flavour. After the 7 days, strain the sloes off the liquid and continue the fermentation process at straining steps.

It's pretty easy to make such a great wine at home, follow Davin's steps and you'll be making a wine to be proud of.

As well as the usual brewing equipment, to make this wine you will need:
