Asda seem to be the only place that has WGJ these days if you are lucky, but you can make juice wines from almost any juice, but its probably best to add some grape juice enricher, or grape juice concentrate if not using grape juice.
I do that with my wines, doesnt affect it at all
Great, thanks, I thought maybe all the stuff on the bottom would make the wine taste off. So what is the reason people rack the wine so much?
I do rack it off the once but then just leave in the garage in the DJ for a few months to make sure it's cleared. Started doing this because I was bottling the wine when it seemed clear but found that I still had sediment in the bottles.
You need to rack it off the dead yeast or it will taste bad if you leave it for months, you only need to rack once onto a crushed campden tablet, degas and stabilise, if you are leaving it months you should get away with not using finings.

You don't want to leave it on the sediment for too long,as it can give off flavours to the wine, rack it off the sediment when it has finished fermenting and then it can be left.
Can't believe how fast it's fermented. Well, after starting too off last Saturday. Rgj and apple/mango sg 1.101 finished at 991 so about 14.4%.
Rgj and apple/raspberry sg 1.098 finished at 992. 13.9%
Racked off, both tasted pretty good from sample. The mango surprisingly a bit more tart than the raspberry.
Added a wilko Camden and just under 1/2 tsp of their stabiliser. Hopefully that's OK? Too much? Too little?
Two dj's empty now!
Was going to try the one I have seen posted. Sauv blanc, with pineapple juice and fresh kiwi. Just need to find the recipe. Bit peeved though, was after some wgj. Was up at Newcastle and waitrose is the only place that advertise it now, they had none in.
Would a Youngs Definitive Grape Juice White Wine Enricher, 245 grams replace the wgj?

This is what I'm gonna try soon, I noticed that some apple juices are a lot darker than others, so I want to find a light coloured juice and try some enricher.
Is that correct? 1020 seems a bit low with 2.5L of juices and 750g sugar
No I typed it wrong
Sg 1120
I just get my apple juice and grape juice from asda
Red or white grape juice 2 L bottle ã2.50
