So i just bottled this up this week and had it bulk aging for almost a year. So the color fermented down to a pale yellow so a drop of red food coloring brought back that nice pink color, not sure if the alcohol with fade the food coloring out or not but planning on giving these out as christmas gifts this year so they will not last that long anyway. It actually is pretty good stuff, reminds me a lot of Dr McGillicutty's but with a much more wine like taste. I will be making more of this again this year!!!
