Yes, what you're tasting now bears no resemblance to what you get at the
end, it's still, basically, half-fermented fruit juice. You still have some
fermenting to go, the wine has to then be cleared and settled, and you'll be
surprised, even amazed, at the difference!

Stick with it!

If you're using one of the kits, you will be able to drink it straight away
after fining has finished a few weeks hence, although leaving it to stand
does make a difference - I don't wait that long, I find the result is just
as good as basic supermarket drinking plonk, sometimes better.....
