Did Sandy ruin my wine?

[Bernie3761]

I am making a wine kit and the instructions state to keep temps at 72-75. But I lost my power on Monday and the temps have been about 58-60 in my home. I already racked the wine after the initial 7 days. Do you think it will be ok or did my yeast go to sleep.

Your wine will be fine. Lots'a people actually ferment at that temperature, myself included. It depends on the strain, but most yeast will work down to about 58F, liquid temperature. If it was at 72 F, it probably took at least a day to cool down to 60 F.
