Tart/Sour Blueberries OK?

[miccbull]

I have a bunch of blueberries that I froze a couple months ago because they were a little too tart/sour to eat by themselves. Right now I use them for making smoothies/pancakes and such.

Could these be used to make a nice wine or will the sourness come through?

If that is the way the blueberries are normally yes you can make a wine out of them. You can increase the sweetness and reduce the acidic level to something reasonable.

If they were picked before they were ripe then it most likely will lack flavor.

On another note you could purchase a can of vintners blueberry and mix with yours, this may help your wine.

Always remember poor quality ingredients will give you a poor wine.

Hm I wouldnt say they were picked prematurely, they are grocery store blueberries. They jsut aren't the best tasting ones I've had.... maybe I'll pass on this wine.
