I will be making a couple of batches of strawberry wine later this year, as the owner of my allotments went crazy with strawberry plants over lockdown, and now has more strawberries than he knows what to do with
I'm looking at using the wineturtle.com recipe, which calls for around 5lbs of strawberries and a gallon of water. My question is, has anyone tried using more strawberries and less water and sugar? What was the result? Is there a limit to how much strawberry can be used in place of water and sugar, or does it improve with the more fruit that is used?
Also, has anyone tried backsweetening the wine, or is it better left dry? I'm thinking of making one sweet batch and one dry batch.
Any help would be much appreciated.
