Should I be concerned that my first post is in the alcohol section :yum:

We have made rhubarb wine for the last five years. We have learned that taste improves significantly with age. If it is left for a year then the cloudiness will go. You do need to be careful when pouring to ensure that any sediment is not mixed.
