I have searched on the group for this and so I know I stuffed up quite
badly, it's just a matter of how much...

I bottled a beautiful smelling batch of strawberry wine a few days ago
and rinsed the bottles with a sulfite solution before I filled them
with wine. Obviously after rinsing the 36 bottles, most of the rinse
was left over - and - I drained all of the bottles for a few seconds
each holding them upside down till no more drops came out, but I made
the rinse way, waaaaaay too strong. I used a teaspoon of sulfite in a
wine-bottle filled with water so it was 1 teaspoon to 750ml. There
were no residual crystals in the rinse. I don't know why I went so
extreme with the rinse, I'd normally use that much in a gallon for a
rinse solution. I realised while bottling but figured since the
bottles were drained that not too much harm could have occured.

While trying to enjoy a post bottling drink of the wine though I
realised what a terrible mistake I had made. The wine was supposed to
be -in part - for gifts at Christmas, but the taste of sulfite in the
wine was very strong and overpowered the lovely strawberry smell.

I know this won't be ready for Christmas now, but am I likely to ever
have a decent flavour from this wine? Am I panicking too soon?
Eeeeek!
