Buys fruit juice to make wine or cider?
Walmart Juicy juice strawberry kiwi, 2 gallons, 3 cups table sugar, yeast nutrient and US05 yeast slurry from another beer brew. Started on the 5th, racked today, still bubbling, still sweet. O.G. 1.07, S.G. 1.024 at racking. I'll use metabisulfite and sorbate, degas, then isinglass to clear, backsweeten if needed with strawberry and/or apple juice concentrates. Gonna be good.

Quoted:
The jugs say 100% from concentrate, no sugar added. I do check the contents for sorbates and such, and see the ingredients. Also I would say it's a wine even if it's only 6%. What else could it be? I think wine is just classified as fermented fruit juice- generally thought of as grapes, but could be anything. If you want to raise the gravity, in addition to using table sugar, you can use frozen juice concentrates for more flavor. |

I'm not a wine drinker, but I made some of this farmhouse wine and the women seem to like it.
