I made mulberry wine once. I don't know much about making wine. But I had a
lot of mulberries. It was alcoholic and dry. Kind of flat and bland. Needed
some acid or tannins. Mulberries are kind of sweet and bland, and when all
the sugar turns to alcohol, guess what's left?

This year, it is abundantly productive and I am able to gather small

I am thinking of making wine. I gather the fruit daily, wash and freeze
it to collect enough to try.
2 questions for the list:
1) I am spending a lot of time clipping off stems. Is that necessary?
Will it really degrade the flavor of the wine to leave them on?
2) Does anyone have experience with making mulberry wine? Good or bad
experiences? A favorite recipe or yeast?
