wine and cider production

Hi all,
very fortunately right now I am privy to collecting from the odd apple tree, elderberry shrub/tree, plums etc. Wonder if firstly (as, although I am originally from Scotland I am very passionate about me coyder, erm, I mean cider) anyone has a method and recipe for cider production, and secondly wine production in general. Frankly, I ain't got a clue even though my wife is Russian and her family make the most fantastic and hellish strong wodka (vodka) so any pointers would be most welcome!
Kind regards
Roy

these appeared when I googled - hope they help!
Happy fermenting!!

 

By eck Dendrobium, I think I'll stick to the local shop, at least for me cider. It seems to be a pretty complex procedure.
Many thanks for your reply!
Kind regards
Roy
