Tonight it my first bottle of elderberry, made with concentrate from homewinery.com. Started in December, 2014 and bottled in April, 2015. In addition to the standard kit, I added 1 American medium stick and 1 oz French medium chips.
This is my first non grape wine (other than a batch of dragon blood) so I wasn't sure what to expect. I'm really happy with the result of this. After back sweetening, I only ended up with a SG of .994 so it is still quite dry but I love the flavors. This is a terrific social wine and one that you can drink all night long without much chance of getting hammered. I like that. My notes say starting SG was only 1.080 so it is fairly low alcohol. I'll definitely do this again.
