Help, I hope that my wine is not ruined.
I have just put my strawberry wine into bottles, after racking it 4 times.
Everything seems ok, tastes quite nice, smells ok, looks ok, but on cleaning out all my equipment afterwards I noticed that there was some mould in my airlock.
I constantly had it filled to the max line that is imprinted on it, and I put a campden tablet in the wine at every recommended stage, I also thought that I sterilised the airlock (though now I'm having my doubts) before I put it on.
So I'm not sure how this has happened.
Anyway could my wine be ruined, especially as I have to let it age for about 9 months.
Cheers
