Default Is sour cherry wine better than sweet cherry wine?

Wait, don't throw your batch out after 3 weeks! That's a little young to
think of tossing something. Cherry wine can take awhile, a year or more....
If it doesn't taste good at 1 year old, then consider making it into a wine
cooler by adding 7-up or something.
