Gwîn Betys


In English it means Beetroot Wine. It's a classical Welsh country-style wine. It contains beetroot, sugar and raisins flavoured with spices. I have never heard that they make wine out of beetroot. This is just a little part of they're culture.

Here is what you need:
1,800 g beetroot
1,350 g sugar
1 gallon water
1 lemon
Wine yeast

Recipe:
Wash the beet thoroughly and cut them into slices and cook in the water until mild. Strain the beetroot on to the sugar and stir strongly until all the sugar is dissolved. When cool add the yeast. Cover the bucket and leave for five days stirring regularly.
