I've made a few batches of wine using Welch's grape juice concentrate and they've all turned out great. I decided to experiment and use two cans of Cran-Raspberry Concentrate and one can of Grape juice concentrate (for approximately one gallon). I made a batch of standard grape as well and about a week later the Cran-Raspberry is showing far fewer signs of fermentation.
I know that cranberries (or maybe its the raspberries, I can't remember) contain benzoate which isn't really fermentable and I wanted to know if there was anything I did wrong and if there's any way I can save the batch. I added somewhere around 3 or so cups of sugar (I'm using yeast with high alcohol tolerance and I like my wine that way) and reactivated the yeast in warm water, for a bit more background information. Thanks everyone!
