I very much appreciate the gift and its thoughtfulness, and I do enjoy red and white wine, but I just don't like the homemade wine kind. Now I've got so many bottles of the stuff from different friends and don't know what to do with it.</P> <P>One friend gave me a bottle which I put in my wine cubby built into my cupboards and the darn thing opened in the middle of the night and sprayed my whole kitchen. A couple of years later they gave me another bottle which I didn't even have time to put away yet and it exploded again all over the island. They couldn't believe it because they said it had never happened to them.</P> <P>Now the holidays have come and gone and different friends have stocked me up again. The hard part is they always want to know what I thought of it, but I never open them and are sitting in my basement. So I'm thinking the best course is to open the bottle, try a sip, say I enjoyed it and give them back the bottle.</P> <P>What do you think about homemade wine in general. Not the gifting part of it, but whether you enjoy it or not.</P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> <P> </P> Sun, 05 Feb 2012 18:05:32 GMT FreddieP 2012-02-05T18:05:32Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Homemade-Wine-As-Gifts/m-p/162831#M70344 <P>I have received many bottles of home made wine from friends who do it as a hobby.
