The formula I use to calculate alcohol percentage in the finished wine is

(Starting SG - Ending SG) / 0.736

With your numbers, this gives 11.28%, which is a reasonable alcohol level.
I'd leave it as is. When I first started making wine, I aimed for a higher
alcohol content but found that my wines tasted better in the 11% to 13%
range; less harsh alcohol bite.
