Is the elderberry wine I made from fresh fruit a country wine? Will it need to be degassed or can I just leave it with its co2 fizziness?
Thanks,

I think any wine made from local fruits and berries, I'd call a country wine.
I did an Elderberry last year which came out great without degassing. In fact, I've never degassed a wine at all. Just leave it in a carboy for about 4-6 months before bottling.

Okay, my recipe calls for being in the secondary for two months and a tertiary for another two months, then bottling.
I should be alright with that.k
I probably wouldn't bother to degas a wine either.
The wine not made with grapes sounds plausable too.

That's always been my understanding, country wine refers to anything that doesn't include grapes. Considering that you can make wine from just about any fruit, veggie, or berry out there, that's a lot of different varieties. For an idea of some other varieties, check out http://scorpius.spaceports.com/~goodwine/winerecipes.htm (I plan on experimenting with about half that list...)

Yeah, no grapes is what I meant to say. Also, no fancy French sounding name.
