Title: Re: [NAFEX] fruit wines
   One useful tool from wine art stores is pectinase.  This enzyme breaks down pectins in the fruit, allowing better release of juice, and really makes a difference in how well the wine clears.  That can make a world of difference with fruits like plums and apricots.  
   Incidently, Nichols Garden Nursery in Albany, OR has an excellent selection of home winemaking supplies.  They are mail order.  http://www.nicholsgardennursery.com

Now and again over 40 years, I have made fruit wines .  The best was with Damson plums,
The deep purple color  and great taste reminded me of  the Petite Sirrah we also made from grapes.   I used regular wine yeast that you can get from stores like " Wine Art" that sell wine making equipment & supplies ( see yellow pages).. Recipes are also available from such sources                     Dale,  Colorado
