Well I have been very busy for the past couple years but things are finally slowing down and I'm getting back into wine making.
Problem is I remembered I had a few carboys I had let go for at least a year and all airlocks are completely dry on them (no surprise). I am sure at very least they are oxidized and would taste terrible. I popped the one bung off (odd sentence to type out) and smelled the wine and it had a very rubbery type smell...
My question is since I "know" the wine is already bad, would I do any good trying to turn some/all of it into vinegar? (that is if it didn't do that already)
Would a oxidized bad tasting wine turn into a bad tasting vinegar?
Long shot but I figured maybe someone here might have tried this before.
