I just finished a 3 gallon batch of rhubarb using one can (10#). I stabilized and back sweetened to 3.5 brix and added about 3/4 liter of fpack made from 2# of reduced frozen rhubarb.
This wine taste ok, however it doesn't jump out as Hey this is rhubarb! So if anyone plans on making this, plan on adding more fruit. I may try adding another 2# fpack reduction. Just a heads-up.

Thanks for the heads-up. I was considering making rhubarb wine in the spring when the rhubarb ripens.
 
If I do make it again, I will find a source for fresh. I think I would need 2 cans for decent flavor and $60 would buy me some real good grape juice around this area.

I will have to see how it turns out though, can't judge a green wine.
