Charles' elderflower wine seems to have turned an unusual colour...

Charles offers his guests the fruits of last summer's homebrew efforts

Where are we?: Over the supper table Charles offers his guests - young and old - the fruits of last summer's homebrew efforts

What's the goof?: Charles claims to be able to offer a 'nice line' in Elderflower wine, but his credentials as a homebrewer are somewhat in doubt. Elderflower wine is always white or off-white in colour, never a rich red. Perhaps he meant Elderberry...?
