Bottled honey wine today. 25 750ml bottles, and 2 1.5 liter bottles.
Grapes from the 100 year old vine. Honey from the bees. 5 gallons from the grapes and 5.5 lbs of honey plus water to top it up and another 1.7 lbs of honey to back sweeten it.
It tastes pretty good actually, not dry and not sweet.
More details in the ALT.

October Surprise Mead!
I got a new glass fermenter this weekend for making the meads.
I've just gotten started on a one gallon batch of blueberry/raspberry, and a gal of peach is not far behind.
I'll add the pictures I've taken so far, and caption them and provide some context once I have pitched the yeast tomorrow.
I'll curate the original post for completeness and accuracy, meanwhile y'all can yack at me in the comments with questions and observations.
BTW This mead will have a roughly 18-20% ABV. It is technically classified according to ABV and production method as a 'desert wine'. It has about the same mental effect as a strong (40 proof) liquer.
Aclinically speaking, it is an ass kicker.
