I have a gallon of cider wine that has just finished fermenting. There's not much flavor to it. Is it possible to add something to it at this point besides blending it with another wine? Any suggestions? Thanks!:

Sure, you stop fermentation with k meta and potassium sorbate. Then simmer down apple juice or apple juice concentrate to about 1/3 the original volume and back-flavor with that plus some sugar syrup.

You can also add cinamon sticks or cloves to it and let it sit until they reach the right level of flavoring, if you'd like.

Or you can add any other complimentary juice concentrate, prepared as above and with or without added sugar, and then allow it to settle out in the carboy 2-3 weeks before bottling to make a hyphenated wine like Apple-Cherry.
