Hello,

I've just bottled five gallons of wine using the following recipe at eckraus.com (http://www.eckraus.com/blog/can-i-use-grape-juice-from-the-grocery-store-to-make-wine)

For anyone who's ever done this before, how long did you let it sit in the bottle before trying it? I'm not expecting anything award-winning, but I am hoping for a nice drink (I added oak chips).

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. And since this is my first post here, hello!
 
I hate to say.... I never aged it past 2 months. It didnt last long enough.
I know that the last bottles were much better tasting then the first.

I would guess 3 to 6 months?
 
I put back a dozen bottles for about
1 1/2 years it turned out quite good for a cheap throw together. The rest I opened here and there starting at 3 months. I want to say at about 8 months we really started liking it.
