Grape Juice

The grapes finally harvested in Skalitsa and put into a big barrel and we were off to Yambol with the thought of drinking the wine from the grape juice in one month’s time.

The plastic barrel has a screw top and we thought quite water tight as we put is sideward in the back seat of the Lada.

On arrival in Yambol we realised that it was not tight, as the grape juice had run all over the passenger seats and down the back.

We cleaned it up but knew that there would not only be the smell of grape juice that will turn pungent after a day or so in the heat, but that every ant, wasp and fly in the area will catch the scent and draw of sugar and invade the car, that was the worse part.
