Pinot grigio coloUr

[PrisonWallet]

I bottled my first kit last night, a pinot grigio, which turned out to taste quite nice at 30 days. Before that, I filtered to a carboy with a buon vino mini jet.

Was looking at the bottles and my wife said they look like bottles of urine. Yeah, they do. I topped up with 1.5 L of Copper moon. Maybe that tinted it? Ended up with 31 bottles of wine, my glass carboys are a bit larger than the plastic one.

As long as it doesn't smell and taste like urine, you're ok.

Color in kits is variable. FWK tend to be darker, due to the process. I've made WE kits that were very lightly tinted. If you topped with a dark wine, that could affect it.

Great! I won't worry about the colour, as the wine tastes better than expected. Drank a bottle last night and got slightly hammered. Seems stronger than the 12% it tested at.
