Rhubarb Wine - The Final Result

I bottled the batch of rhubarb wine about 10 days ago.  The clarification step and the bottling were completed without incident. 

Since bottling, I had the pleasure of serving the rhubarb wine to visitors.  They seemed to enjoy it.  Not only did they finish their glasses, but they filled them up for a second round.  I think that qualifies as a success, especially considering the wine's undrinkable state after fermentation.

Chilled rhubarb wine on the deck.  It's perfect for
a hot summer afternoon on the Canadian prairies.
If I could compare this wine to anything, it would be cider.  The wine has good legs, there is a bit of tartness, but it's easy to drink.  The rhubarb flavour is mild and pleasant.  Have it with a slice of apple pie and ice cream and you know you are living the good life.

Cheers!
