Two large, round bowls full of black grapes on an oak kitchen table top.

I started some wine two days ago from grapes picked from the vine growing against the back of my house in Herefordshire.
After filtering, the specific gravity (OG) is 1086, in the upper range for wine. No added sugar is needed. And the colour is really good. Almost unbelieveable.
