I'd suggest getting a copy of a book on fermentation if you haven't made wine before -- the one I mention in the post is a good one. Pick the berries when they’re purple-black, with no green ones.

Are these ok to pick to make the wine, they are small and green, what time of the year will they ripen, so as the beat the birds there. I have not made wine before, and find it crimmal that for the price of one bottle there, you could get five in France. I intend to purchase book, as suggested. so i can use the freezer full of rasberrys. Thank you.
