I really need to bottle my #cider soon, I have 10 kg of #cherries waiting for me to turn them into fruit wine. Fruit wine is a sort of side project to the cider project, and I mainly do fruit wines during the months where no cider is fermenting.

But so far the fruit wines have been pretty good (excluding my first, a gooseberry wine), and so I am getting more and more interested in that as well.

These cherries are of the red skin/yellow flesh variety, and so I am thinking I'll make i bit like a plum wine and not as a traditional cherry wine. Maybe a white wine yeast? For red wines I typically use Lalvin RC212, but I'm sure there's something more appropriate for a still semi-sweet white or rose?

@EvilCartyen The cherry wine you can get over the counter in Denmark always seemed either too sweet or too boozy for my taste. I'm a big fan of the Ukranian п’яна вишня though, as it hides the alcohol and has a lovely sour hint as well. If I get the chance, I'll try to bring home an extra bottle next time and perhaps we could do an exchange? :-)

@saustrup absolutely 😁 takes a while before my wine will be ready though. Maybe 6 months and then it's usually a good idea to let it sit for at least 6 more months.
