As the title says, my first batch of apple wine is more or less rocket fuel but now friends and family want to try it just for fun.
It has been racked twice, has been aged in a carboy for a month, and I know wisdom says to leave it be (even if it *is* rocket fuel) and it will be better after another month or so have passed.
However, I was wondering, if there a method of sneaking 3 or 4 glasses from the carboy and getting away with it? I have a feeling you guys will tell me to just top up with a commercial wine. But any other suggestions beyond that? Can I just make up equal parts of apple juice and sugar and let it go back into a fermentation cycle? I am fine with letting this go on and on in a loop (I know how it sounds, what the hell am I doing, right? haha). Well I've got other apple wines on the go now and I'm okay with this one being tapped into.
Thanks everybody
