Any home-brewers out there?

We have just decided to have a go at making some homemade wine for the
first time. All the recipes we have found include the instructions
'add X campden tablets' and I dimly remember the same from when my
mother made the stuff 20+ years ago. The problem is, where do you
obtain these magical tablets? 'In the olden days' we would buy them
(and other related paraphernalia) from Boots but these days they've
never heard of the things. Can anyone suggest where we might look for
them? We live in SE London.

You might be able to find them in your local supermarket. I notice ours
(Morrisons) has home winemaking cans and other stuff, but I haven't
looked closely enough to see if they have camden tablets.

I do wine-making so if you need any help e-mail me. You can get campden
tablets from any home brew shop. There are several who do online ordering eg
www.art-of-brewing.co.uk or just look in your local yellow pages. 100
campden tabs will cost you a couple of quid. The group rec.crafts.winemaking
is a very friendly NG if there is anything you need to know.
