Ginger wine recipe please?

[Digger-07]

Years ago I made a batch of ginger wine that has a place in heaven. But i've lost the recipe. I know it used root ginger and raisins and did not use grape concentrate but I can't remember anything more. I could play around until I got it right (or my liver packed in) but I just know there will be someone out there with a suggestion. Thanks.

Ginger wine recipe please?

Hi Digger,
Try Alligator Wine for my fourth ginger wine recipe, I like to taste the ginger in my wines & use 150g in this recipe. Note that all my recipes have actually been made AND drunk. Have you tried growing your own ginger? If not you could try Grow Your Own Beer, Wine & Cider
