Decided in Oct. '98 that a well-rounded home chemist should also have experience with grape products. As the first batch of Clawhammer Chianti approaches its birthday, I note the following:

One must be thorough in eliminating the carbon dioxide prior to bottling. A carbonated Chianti (no matter how slightly) is not a great wine.
One year in the bottle is insufficient for this wine.
In spite of all this, I doubt that there will be a bottle that reaches its second birthday. It ain't that bad . . .

"Not all chemicals are bad. Without chemicals such as hydrogen and oxygen, for example, there would be no way to make water, a vital ingredient in beer."
