So this was my first batch of blueberry wine. I was able to fine a blueberry juice from a local store. I let it ferment and when I bottled it the wine had turned as red as an apple. Is that normal? I had never had a wine change that much color before.

Did your juice start out blue?

I made blueberry wine from blueberries, it always had a red color.

Best I can figure, it may have had some dye that separated out.

Our first ever blackberry wine turned out way more of a dark red than we thought it would

An acidic environment (such as a wine) will remove colors. I don't know the exact science, but I know if you add lemon juice to a red wine it will turn the wine clear-ish)

I'm thinking that maybe red is the last color that can remain in the acidic environment. So it dropped out your blue colors leaving you with just the red. Remember that blueberries are purple and not blue.
