it has not finished fermenting the sugars yet.

well that's perfectly normal. wine generally takes a little while to mellow out. i would put it in the carboy, but make sure there isn't much air space on the top. to be safe, top it off with some juice or sugar water. something to ferment a little more and eat up all the oxygen you introduced...

well that's the trippiest beer i've ever seen.

sanitize all your equipment, bruh.
