They are dessert grapes Cinders, although last year that were very sour, hoping they might be sweeter this year.

Wonderful, I bought an outdoor grape last year to climb the pergola, with the vision of grapes hanging down ..... thankfully it has survived the horrendous Winter.
We have a red and a white in the greenhouse - we are going to make wine this year, definitely, got the demi johns ready :-)

Oh lol Amy, dont forget the beer, lol. Forgot to tell you about that, John has brewed some and you know what, its really good, I think the kits have improved over the years.
We need to do more with our grapes, I remember my Dad made wine from grapes and it was good. Milky has sent me some recipes :-))))

Golly you have got the bug Dawn , the only wine we tried to make was elderflower it was so foul it put us off for good .... It's nice that you have some tried and tested recipes from Milky you should be sure of a good outcome ..:o))

We can hope Amy .... I'll give the Elderflower one a miss then. You can also buy wine kits that are much improved on the ones from years ago - apparently
