Welcome to the Forum MW, sounds like you are going to have a powerful brew there!
I would suggest that you didn't do too much at one go, you won't know what's produced what flavour.

just an update.I have ended up with 15 gallons yes 15 lol. I decided to experiment i had made a ribena 5 gallons and it was rubbish i didn't boil ribena and made loads of mistakes. ended the fermentaion of it too early. anyway i decided to split my dried fruit mix into two containers i seived fruit topped one up with more red grape juice and blueberry juice. and a third of my ribena mix to fill my 5 gall that is still bubbling nicely took regular sg readings and yesterday it was just at 1.020 so is coming on nice. the second container i used a third of the wine a third of ribena topped up again with blueberry and red grape juice and ribena and the dried fruit which didn't have any value except to help fermentation get going that too was bubbling away like mad and sg level is now 1.030 the last one exactly same again moved seived fruit in and strained off that is now 1.035.......All in all never think you can't rescue a ruined wine.it smells like a christmas cake looks good and i dare say when fermentation stops and wine is racked it should have a nice taste :) just thought i would share my happiness :) :
