Title: Last Years Rhubarb/Gooseberry/Elderflower Wine help!!
Post by: otis pony on June 22, 2010, 14:06

Hi, need some advice.  I have wine in demijohns which I made last year.  Will it still be OK to bottle and drink?  The djs haven't been moved but have not been kept in the dark, anyone with any suggestions?   :unsure:

Is it still sat on sediment?
If so it may impart a flavor or aroma, but the modern yeast are good and it could be OK.
If you racked and filtered the no problem, it will be better being a larger volume during maturing. :lol: :lol:

Few seem to keep them in the dark in reality, light may "bleach" it a little, so it may be a little paler then otherwise. :( :(

Bottle, drink and enjoy. If not great then cook with it. :D :D :D
