Thank you, Curt, I don't think it is but I will give it a good stirring too just in case. It really is an interesting wine..you can actually taste the roses.

Where would I find Methylated spirits, Lowes, in the furniture refinishing section(solvents)?? I thought that I read somewhere to check for pectic haze with rubbing alcohol also.

It looks like you would have to buy it overseas. I think it is illegal to sale in the states. Here is theonly link I found:

Methylated spirits is just another name for denatured alcohol. Denatured alcohol is ethyl alcohol (ethanol) to which a small percentage of methyl alcohol (methanol) has been added to render the mixture poisonous (go blind or death). You should be able to find it in any hardware or paint store.


Rubbing alcohol, these days, is synthetically produced isopropyl alcohol diluted with water to 70% strength and not fit for consumtion either.


I use these types of solvents at work.Edited by: masta

Thanks for the chemical clarification. Sometimes you just need a good chemist!

Thanks Masta, George,


I think I will go ahead and treat the wine with more pectic enzyme as is explained on Jack Keller's site and see what happens.


I didn't realize other forms of alcohol could be so interesting....

Yes, those 'other forms' of alcohol are pretty deadly too.
Methylated spirits (or "Meths" in the UK) has a purple color additive as well.
