A fruit farming family in Herefordshire, United Kingdom began making gin in a bucket four years ago using fruit leftover from the harvest. 

After winning a competition from the budget supermarket Aldi, the farming family has won an investment for 18,000 bottles of its gin, called Penrhos Gin, to be sold in 900 stores across the United Kingdom.
