I notice a strong smell coming from my primary fermenter. What is the smell and does it mean that my wine is spoiled?
A-The smell comes from the fermentation process. Specifically, it comes from the action of the yeast in converting the sugars in the must or grape juice to alcohol and carbon dioxide. It is the same smell that you will notice if you are baking bread. Once fermentation is finished, the smell will go away and the wine will be fine.
