I’d been worrying about the wine not clarifying, but didn’t want to open the demijohn to let oxygen in.  Lack of patience got to me and I decided to rack it off in to my little half demijohn and one bottle, leaving the rest for testing.  My wife and I both had a little sip of the dregs.  It tasted of… cheap wine (and much better than the orange filth from years ago).  Hopefully it will improve with ageing – at least that is the theory.  Since (ignoring the £15 bucket,  £3 yeast, £2 finings…) it cost 10p for about 5 bottles it really is cheap wine.  It is good enough to drink the half bottle with dinner and can only (hopefully) improve.

I also racked off the elderberry and topped it up with water.  I didn’t keep enough to taste properly, but from the drips I think it will be OK.
