I are totally confused by the confusing measurments re the liquids.
The ingredients list calls for 635 ml water and 500 ml wine,and 375 warm water. total 1.5 lit fluid
But the recipe only calls for 1 lit total fluids.
Also I find the measurment for the gelatine in ml rather than grams,as its a granular gelatine.
Anyone got a clue about the correct fluid measurment.I think I will reduce the white wine to 50 ml,and try that.Ill let you all know how it turns out.
