Today my son and I bottled our Sauvignon Blanc, which was in two 3 gallon carboys + a 375 ml split.
We racked the first carboy, adding K-meta and glycerin. Sniffed the second carboy, smelled good, so we added it to the first.
Sniffed the 375 ... it smelled bad. Really bad. Tasted it to confirm it -- had to rinse our mouths out with red wine. (don't laugh too hard, I'm serious). TRUST YOUR NOSE -- it's right more often than your tastebuds.
The 375 went down the drain. We're thankful it wasn't either carboy! The moral of the story is test every wine before mixing. Most of the time the wines are perfectly fine, but take that moment to verify the wine before combining.
