Confused

[paramotoring]

I'm just in the process of making my 1st every wine.... Damson wine. Its been fermenting now for 16 days . Bubbles have really slowed down . I've measured the wine with my hydrometer but the reading is 1.00
.... does that mean no alcohol?
I would be grateful of any help please.

Can you explain the process you used to make the wine.

No, it doesn't mean no alcohol. It means there's no sugar left as the fermentation has converted it all to alcohol.
The wine should now throw a deposit and start to clear a bit. You'll need to siphon it off into a second, clean demijohn, leaving the deposit behind, and top it up to the bottom of the neck with boiled and cooled water. You should then leave it for a couple of months in a dark place, for fermentation to finish and the yeast to clean up its own by-products, before bottling it and leaving it at least 6 weeks in the bottle before drinking.
Congratulations. First one sounds like a success.

Don''t forget to check your airlock from time to time to ensure it doesn't dry out.

Thank you so much for your reply and help. I was panicking a bit. How can I tell what the alcohol Content is?
Thank you again

Did you record the original gravity? If so, go here: https://www.brewersfriend.com/abv-calculator/

If not...
Well, just remember to do it next time.

What's the recipe?

Are we going for a best guess based on ingredients if the OG is unknown?
