A long time back, I used to make assorted fruit wine like that; peaches etc. I also grew Thompson seedless grapes, and made small batches of wine from those, now and then. The citrus I grow gets way too acidic to drink when it ferments, but is nice to mix in after the fermentation has stopped.
Did not age the wine, of course.
If I remember correctly, a family member started a batch of "orchard" wine in June, peaches apples, pears, etc, and there would have been black currents in the mix. They sometimes make cherry wine, too. They live up north with a lot longer winter chill time for the trees, though.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…

Oh to be able to grow citrus fruit. I grew a 'gin and tonic' plant once from a pip from the bottom of a glass of G&T, (probably a lemon, might have been a lime) but it never fruited. Here in the wilds of Wales we grow mud, sheep, wellies and whinberries, and not much else
