I recently inherited some batches of Elderberry wine when a friend of the family passed away. The wine was made from berries he grew in his back yard, and it appears the batches are marked Nov 11th 2011. The wine tastes great, a bit sweet, but there is 'some' alcohol content from what I can tell. The wine is nowhere near clear.
What should be my first steps to ensuring these batches don't go to waste? There are 2 5Gal carboys (topped up) and 4 1gal carboys (topped up). I have no idea what process he used, or what chemicals (if any) were added. Should I sulfide the batch to be sure?
Many thanks -
