Hi. I've been making wine for a few years now and have not had this happen yet;) I have a batch of Semillon that had fermented to 1.000 was clear cold stabilized and I had waited to make sure fermentation had stopped. Sg. The same for a month. Didn't see the need to add sorbate because I wasn't going to add any more sugar. So I bottled and it was delicious. Then it started tasting like I hadn't degassed enough. Still delish. Now..... looks like sediment in bottles and very bubbly. ... still delish but worried about popping corks. Sg. At .996:(
Put all remaining bottles in spare frig. Is that the best way to handle this?
 
Thanks. Working on it! Bummed though cause it really was so good. Thought I might even enter it in the fair! Oh well.... lesson learned so not all bad:)
