    Does anybody know if blueberry wine can be bought in Dublin?

    Don't think I've ever seen that for sale, anywhere.

    Wicklow Way Wines do other fruits though, if that's any use.

    You do know that the price quoted is for 6 bottles?

    Also they are very well made wines and I have had these served to me many times in Michelin star restaurants

    I've had their wines before, and they are lovely.
    They also make a lovely gift, and something a bit more unusual than a bottle of red/white wine.

    I am going to make that blueberry wine recipe in a few weeks though, for the craic.

    As an aside, when restrictions lift, their tour and tasting seems like it would make a nice present if looking to buy something a bit different.

    Give me a shout in 6 months and I'll have some ready for drinking. Will a blend of blueberry and dandelion be a problem for you? :)

    Also have gorse, nettle, strawberry and sloe/strawberry.

    What's the gorse recipe like?
    I've made fermented gorse honey, but never anything else with it.

    Very easy to make. It just takes time.
    Just racked some sloe and gorse. Should be about 14%
