I have an orange wine that went from 1.095 to 1.000 and stopped. Would you
bother to try to get it lower?

That depends on how dry you want it. It will probably go a bit lower, but it
will be a slower fermentation. How do you like your wines? sweet or dry?

My guess would be that at 1.000 there is only a little sweetness left.
Orange wine is usually pretty acidic and can certainly support the
sweetness. I would let it clear, stabilize it, and go with it as it is.

That has a lot more to do with personal preference.


"Use the numbers as a guide, but your tongue to decide."


If you think it tastes good with the slight residual sweetness, then
sorbate it to stop it from re-fermenting later and go with it...
