what we really need is a reduction in 'bad' ldl, not a price rise on grapes and red wine! I am awaiting release of the new multi task drug on trial that is a statin and hypertension hybrid pill, then I can continue with my med diet and perhaps become healthy!. jen

Red wine made from Elderberries is just as good as red wine made from grapes according to the scientists.

HOW TO EAT THEM ALL AND WASTE NOT ...

I make a jelly and add some sherry then wash the grapes and put them in... this way the grapes stay fresh until you have scoffed the lot...with condensed milk and a choc ice...

ps the quickest way to melt the jelly is just chuck it into the microwave in a little water.
