although wine experts agree that frozen blueberries are great for muffins or bagels..here goes, but they warn the blueberries may rupture......................................................... Blueberry wine
8 gallon earthen crock
5 gallon glass bottle (or 5 one gallon jugs)
rubber stoppers with one hole, to fit bottle or jugs
rubber or plastic tubing for water sealing and racking
juice press
sterile bottles and corks for bottling wine A water seal is used during fermentation. The water seal keeps out oxygen (from the air) which causes growth of vinegar bacteria in the wine. Carbon dioxide gas formed during fermentation escapes by bubbling through the water of the seal. Fermentation is completed when bubbling stops. Soon after fermentation, a sediment may form on the bottom of the bottle. Siphon off the clear wine down to this sediment. Wash out sediment and pour wine back in the bottle until ready for bottling. Use sterile bottles and corks for bottling and storing wine. Store in cellar or other cool place.
Place ripe blueberries in earthenware crock. Pour one gallon hot water over berries for every gallon of fruit. Let stand three days, stirring twice daily. Press out juice. Add three pounds sugar to each gallon juice. Stir thoroughly to dissolve sugar. Let stand for three days. Strain. Pour into fermenting bottle or jugs. Use water seal process. Bottle in six months.

Throw out those old frostbit blueberries, then go down to your corner store and buy yourself a bottle of wine.
