Glad to hear your wounds are getting better.

One idea for really pretty gift bottles.... use a clear frostedorblue hock bottle and stencil your designs on it along with a nice label and capsule. I use stencils for a variety of decorating needs and it's really quick and easy. Scrapbook stickers also add quick decorations to wine bottles to be given away. Most of the decorative bottles at the Dollar store are made very cheap and can't handle excess heat or pressure. I, too, have learned the hard way.

Your wine is much too precious tolose in cheap bottles that explode. All that work and waiting.....

Mum wine sounds delicious. I have dandelion wine that is beginning to clear. I tasted it Saturday when I racked it last and it was yummy already. Mums don't grow here in Colorado. Does anyone supply dried mum petals?
