Looks like a lot of yeast rafts to me....So I would say, no.
Ewwww! It sure looks bad to me! I"ve NEVER seen "yeast rafts" in a wine secondary, and I've made about 500 gallons of wine.
Didn't the instructions tell you to top up in secondary? Usually the instructions tell you to top up right after degassing to prevent that sort of thing. You're a good 4 inches from topped-up. I'd call the kit manufacturer and ask about that.
Yeah, not a winemaker myself, but don't see any issue with that.
Revvy, dude, you are like all over the board tonight!!!

Now, Yooper is a winemaker.
I didn't realize where we were at I use new posts so I didn't pay attention to where we were.........LOL...Ignore me....
If it was my wine, I'd add 6 campden tablets (crushed and dissolved) immediately (it's a 6 gallon carboy, right?) and top it up right away! You want NO headspace.

This its the wifes hobby! I was busty brewing away a pumpkin ale when this mess was transferred. I feel bad for her...don't know what she did there!
Yeah, I knew this was the wine section, but also glossed over that this was wine in a secondary. I thought it was still fermenting.

Hahaha...smart phone swype mix up.
I'd still add the campden (can't hurt- might help) and top it up. You can use some commercial wine, or even water, but top it up right away once you dose it with campden. Any headspace is ruinous to wine.

What should I use to clean the carboy??
Anything- oxyclean, one-step, etc. Then I'd bleach bomb it.
