I thought I was buying rhubarb concentrate but this is now a blend of junk including HFCS as the first ingredient. But rather than toss it I made 3 gallons from this 1 gallon (rather than the suggested 5) and the wine tastes almost flavorless, certainly not rhubarb-y.. and I have made rhubarb wine before from home grown stalks. Am I just being hyper critical or have you had similar experiemce from this "juice" . I gotta say, at the same time I purchased the rhubarb I also bought Vintner's Best Elderberry and that is magnitudes better. I had also blended these two (at about 50-50). and that too, is quite fine but the rhubarb is not worth opening. (bottled 6 months ago).
