    I’m interested in making both the plum syrup and plum wine. I’m curious to find out what “Shochu” is and where exactly I can get it. If I have to order it or if I can find it locally it would be great.

    You can start drinking plum syrup when all the plums get thoroughly wrinkled. That means plum juice is completely extracted and it usually takes 2 or 3 weeks after you bottled the plums. Thank you for watching!
