Is it welches concord? My welches concord came out really tart (tastes good, but not really like wine)
Mew, This is my very first time attempting to make wine, I purchased a home in 2005 august and in october harvested about 20 lbs of beautiful concord grapes. I gave them to freinds and neighbors as treats and ate about 3 lbs at once and was sickened and didnt want to see another grape again.

I happened to give a few grapes to a home vintner and he said he sould show me the next year what to do with those beautiful grapes. The next spring rolled around and I started reading up on vines and asking the old country people I knew from the middle east and they taught me how to prune for perfection

I had a beautiful batch of grapes growing and ended up with about 40 lbs of beauties that were sweet to taste. Thus began my very first attempt at making wine from scratch or wine from anything!! I am into april now and after 6 months, I have 5 gallons and a wonderful looking and tasteing wine (well to me anyway

) but am told to let it sit in the carboy as long as I can to make it a ribbon winner!!
