We had an overabundance of sour pie cheeries this year, and in the
process of freezing them, had about 2 quarts of cherry juice left that
we froze. We were wanting to make a cherry wine, but all of the
recipies that we have found have been from starting with the whole
cherries.

Does anyone have a recipie that starts with just the juice?

what about using the welches grape juice recipie on Jack Kellermans
site, but adding additional sugar to get the specific gravity up...
Any thoughts on that? Do you forsee acidity problems with this
method?

Any help you can offer would be appreciated!

I'm assuming you're just trying a 1 gallon batch? My concern would be that
the wine may come out very tart. I made a cherry wine out of Door County
pie cherries, and I had to wait a long time for the wine to smooth out.
