Last summer I tried my hand at making a peach wine from scratch. I was trying to make a 3 gallon batch. When I racked the wine off the lees, I wound up with considerably less than 3 gallons. I wound up with about 8 inches of headspace in the 3 gallon carboy. I guess I lost interest in it and it has been sitting in my basement for at least 6 months.
The wine is crystal clear and I was considering stabilizing and racking soon, but I don't want to waste my time if I have created an egregious error by allowing the wine to sit this long with so much headspace.
Has anyone ever done this? If so, how was your wine effected?
I suppose it is possible that I am the first idiot to do this. If that is the case, what, theoretically, has happened to my wine?
Thanks in advance for your input.
