Not really, but to each his own. I make a fair amount of wine from the
Welch's grape juice-it does taste much, much better at 1 1/2 yrs, if you can
wait that long. I can and I do, but that is what I prefer to do. For me,
the point of making wine at home is to make something I like and that
other's like. If you like what you're doing, then I'm not going to tell you
to do something different. I will tell you, that the wines do improve if
you let them age a bit.
