have made 10 gallon of damson wine, far too sweet after 6 months, realised my mistake, added air locks too soon/ did'nt aerate enough, wine now six months old, low alchohol. my question is is it possible to referment it ?(stupid mistake i know)

Information, information, information please.

air lock timing, aeration are probably not important.

what is important...temperatures, specific gravity readings, the recipe, the yeast used.

Like Dan asked, If you have not stablized it yet you can try pitching some EC-1118 yeast in. It is very agressive and should clean of the rest of you sugar content, and it has a high alcohol tolerance. Take a new SG rading and montior the new fermentation till you get the FG reading you are looking for. Then you can stabilize your wine once its where you want it to be.
