Default Berries in a shady spot?

I'm hoping to get together enough fruits to have a go at making wine
at some stage, so another berry bush would be good - but it would have
to be one which is OK in the shade.


Elder might manage it, if there is space, and you can harvest either the
flowers or the berries, according to taste.

Alternatively, rhubarb isn't a berry, but you can make wine and pies from
it, and it is very tolerant of almost any position as long as you feed it
well and don't let it completely dry out.
