 | | The art of making dandelion wine, celebrated in the 1957 Ray Bradbury novel Dandelion Wine, is alive and well wherever the bright yellow perennial weeds are found, though the practice appears to be limited to home brewers who mix up the wine in the kitchen. |
 | | Martin, who has fields full of dandelions around her Sandgate home, makes her wine with 10 quarts of the blossoms — leaving the stems and leaves behind — and with 15 pounds of sugar and raisins, 12 oranges, and 12 lemons. |
 | | Wine is usually associated with grapes, but it can be made from almost any fruit with sugar that can be consumed by yeast, and Vermont vintners bottle and sell wines made from raspberries, apples, blueberries and other fruits. |
