Dandelion wine

Elderberry has been referred to as "English grapes," since it is so popular as a wine ingredient. In Kent, England, elder orchards have been cultivated for the purpose of wine making. Elder flowers have been placed in wine vessels to improve the flavor of the finished product. Elder blossoms have also been infused into ales. Elderberries are often added to clarets and Bordeaux wines. Historically, it was considered improper for ladies to drink alcohol. However, elder and a dandelion wine were deemed permissible as they have therapeutic value.
