   My ewife's uses an old family recipe from up in the boonies of Quebec & is    
   based mosdtly only on the key things: fruit   
   sugar   
   the right kind of yeast   
   stirring the sludge daily (oranges made a wine that bubbled violently in the    
   fermenter! It wasn't sparkling once opured & corked, but was POTENT(think    
   tequila, but a wee bit fruitier))   
      
   A little dab'll do ya! I'm happy with just a shot or two at a time of any of    
   them, for sipping all evening on a cold winter's night. . .
