Old man mumble

　I have tried making various fruit liquors and it seems that if you are not careful about sterilising and storing the bottles etc., they can become harsh taste.
　Basically, it seems that if you use a liquor with a high degree of alcohol, you don't have to worry about the expiry date, but depending on the fruit, there are cases where the aroma and taste may change if it is stored for a longer period of time. Furthermore, you have to be careful about where you store them, and of course a cool, dark place is the basic rule.

　Another thing to bear in mind when make fruit wine is that it is fine to make it for personal consumption, but it is forbidden to sell it or serve it to customers in a shop. The tricky part is with grapes, because of the Liquor Tax Law, you cannot make fruit wine, even for personal consumption purposes.
　If you search for fruit wine on the internet, you will find information on how to make it, various ways to enjoy it and precautions to take.
