Hi sorry for the late reply yes the colour was very dark in the bucket thats what made me worry but when i was moving it over to clear was much lighter in colour so i was happy to see that. How long ago was it you made the winexpert one and have you aged it any ? i really do enjoy a nice glass...

Thanks for the answers . I just got busy with other things and really forgot about it. It was covered for the whole time and seems to be ok at least going by the smell.Sunny here and with that comes garden and lawn really what happens is i do to much and my back gets bad so things get missed. I...
