Introduce the concept of making fruit pies using country wines.

Select apricots, pears, and apples for the fruit pie fillings.

Choose wines to complement the fruit fillings, including Meadow Sweet for apricots.

Add flour to a bowl as the base for the pastry.

Add butter to the flour and rub it together until it resembles crumbs.

Add an egg to the mixture and a squeeze of lemon juice to help break down the pastry.

Incorporate icing sugar for sweetness, noting that it keeps the mixture smooth without grains.

Add a little water to bring the pastry together, mixing it lightly to avoid overworking it.

Wrap the pastry and refrigerate for about half an hour to solidify the butter.

Roll out the rested pastry and use cutters to line the tart shells.
