I have wine fermenting. It is nearly 2 weeks (California Connoisseur Shiraz) It is reading 1.000 but there is a small surface of bubbles. There is defiantly some activity. Should I just leave it longer?
 
it is done. probably;ly degassing. I would rack it would add oxygen to the wine and may fish out at .980 possibly. but good chance it is done now.
 
It will give up bubbles for a while. The bubbles can hold your hydrometer a little high as well. I would splash rack it to degas and let it sit to clear and degas further.
2 weeks is not unusual, it certainly doesnt qualify as ages.
