But of course! I have been diligently drinking and saving champagne bottles since the engagement.

I like this idea. I think it might be a fine experiemnt

It did continue to ferment as there is sediment evident and it is drier than when bottled. I have done this with much success before and have no idea what is different.

I was using a kit. I stabilized. It tastes good, just no bubbles

I made a sparkling chardonnay for our son's wedding but when we popped the cork on a test bottle there were no bubbles. Can I dump it all back in a carboy rebottle with more sugar and yeast? Just settle for still? Help! The event is October 19

Well I like you all:hug

I discovered this by accident when I did not have enough fresh blueberries to fill my fermenter. I grabbed some from my freezer and they were far juicier. I have tried this successfully with many fruits. The cell structure breaks down when frozen resulting in more juice.

Thanks, CW. I'll give it a try.

I am trying to grow grapes. Blanche dubois that were bred for the coast and I have now transplanted 350 miles north.We shall see. I also have pears, blueberries and muscadines that I have made wine with. Can you make a plum wine that does not come out as sake?

I have bought the grolsch type bottles new by the case and use them for both wine and beer. Especially good for whites as they are easily portable and quick to chill. Don't know how long they would keep though.

All the Spagnols RQ kits I made have been excellent. This is a one shot deal at the first of the year and I will be First in line to put in my order for next year. If you can find any of this years left in stock grab them. We are enjoying this years Gewurztraminer already.

I just read an article that said you could add sugar to the initial fermentation of kits such as Island Mist or one of the wine cooler types and get a higher alcohol percentage while keeping the taste. Has anyone ever tried this?

I have made a tasy dnadelion wine but it was an awful lot of effort to collect those tiny petals. Worth the effort though. Like to try the unusual. Has anyone else got a different kind of idea?

I like the kits because of my preference for Big red wines. I have not been able to get that full boy with anything else. RoyalRed
