I love gooseberries, & they make, after grapes, the best wine.

No, that's elder, elderflower for sparkling white, elderberry for a rich, fullbodied red.

I had a miserable year for gooseberries this year, all tiny and not too many of them. It was down to the dry weather I am pretty sure. Luckily last year was a bumper year and we still have quite a few jars of gooseberry jam.
