I also find unoaked dry white wines have a touch of bitterness. I wonder if
slightly sweeting would mask this?

Sounds odd to be really bitter, how did you make it and what color is
it? It there any brown? Be specific as to how much of whatever you
used.

I would say none of my blush wines ever tasted bitter at any point.
They do change quite a bit in the bottle. They are not really meant
to last for years so really bitter could be an issue. Everything is
relative though, what is really bitter to one person might not be so
bitter to another...

Joe

Just bottled yesterday and wine tastes really bitter. Is this just
because
it's six months old and will get better in the bottle?
Doesn't taste like vinegar at all, just bitter.

Thanks,
Mike

Mike, lemon juice tastes tart (the term "sour" is reserved for wines
that
are turning to vinegar). The white material under the skin on
grapefruit
tasts bitter. Does your white Zin taste tart or bitter?
