So did you make both white plum wine and a red plum wine? Where is the dark colored plum wine?

Depends. If it’s just ‘tart” as in ‘not very sweet’, then it could be a simple case of adding more sugar water, and allowing it another ferment. At some point the alcohol will reach ‘critical mass’ and the yeast will not be able to process any more of the sugar – if you add too much, the wine will be very sweet.
If it’s “vinegary” its possible the batch could be ‘off’ -usually caused by a fruit fly falling in, or poor hygene, if so, afraid its only good for pouring away :o(

Hey, Great Job! I’ve started making my own plum wine 😀 Im just filtering it now, but in the syphoning process I’ve noticed its quite sharp and bitter. Did I do something wrong? is there anything kind of syrups I can add to rectify this?

Definitely worth a dabble. I got shown how to do it by my sister but its so easy, a 5 year old could do it. Google it and you’ll find loads of basic instructions.

I’d imagine you could – but cooking it will kill off the alcohol – kinda defeats the object in my book! LOL!
