Default Plum wine query

Hi there!

We have a surfeit of plums this year - and very nice they are too! - but
rather than letting them go to waste. I was wondering how easy it'd be to
make plum wine? I've found a few recipes online but was wondering if
anyone here had any first-hand tips they could pass on?

Thanks in advance!

Plum makes a good wine.
The main problem is a haze caused by pectin in the plums, you'll probably
need a pectin enzyme to clear it.

Why not make jam? The pectin is an asset here (makes the jam set)



Made plum jam last year and still got loads of jars of it left. Thought I'd
tried something different this time round...

Cheers for the tip, though!
