Default Strawberry Wine

I used 10lbs of sugar for the 5 gallons, like to get the ABV to about
10.5%. Fermented dry, much better flavor sweetened a bit before
bottling, nice strawberry aroma & subtle flavor, good color, not at all
alcoholic strawberry jam-like!

Using 2lbs/gal of any fruit will give very little, if any, flavor or
aroma.
Besides, you could of probably bought 10-15lbs of frozen strawberries
at a grocery store for the cost of the vintners harvest and got a better
result.
