Wow, that is a lot of hate for a simple wine on this thread. I have done several batches, after seeing the description on Jack Iellers website. The second one I added orange blossum honey instead of sugar before fermentation. I used Cote de Blanc Yeast. Stabilized and backsweetened after a few months. Jack's recipe calls for a dose of Cointreau for spicing. The second batch I added water to, you lose a lot from dumping the pulp. Both were great baches of wine. The stronger one I preferred to drink near Christmas with a piece of dark chocolate, it paired well. Overal these are stunning dessert wines. Ad if done properly they have no alcohol burn, just a nice spiced orange taste.
