Default Fizzy,carbonated wine????

Since you are drinking it, I assume it has been bottled. Correct? In that
case it could be one of 2 things. It could be that it was bottled too young
and is fermenting in the bottle. If so, that can be dangerous as you can be
making bombs. If it is dry, the second possibility is more likely. That is
that you bottled it too young and there was still trapped CO2 in the wine.
This can be forced out by stirring or it can be aged out by letting it bulk
age 6-12 months. But after it is bottled, it is just there. Some people
like it.
