Yep, elderberry and elderflower are always two good bankers for home-made wine.

(Beer brews, wine ferments)

Evidently in A&E having his stomach pumped...

Where my family originate from (Estonia) they make a lovely sweet red wine called 'Põltsamaa Tõmmu' from elderberries, plus a few other things. It's a bit like port, but with more of an acidy zip, and gets better with age.

Sadly all too drinkable. Hence I can't imagine that OP has died - more like suffering a weapons-grade hangover.

Been there.

Yep i survived,could only handle 2 glasses of it tho after a few bottles of red wine(wolfbass yellow label).I used the rest to marinade a couple of duck fillets,then reduced it with some red cherries.Lovely!
